Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Sweet potatoes (2 medium, peeled and diced)
  • Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
  • Cumin (1 teaspoon)
  • Chili powder (1 teaspoon)
  • Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Black beans (1 can (15 oz), rinsed and drained)
  • Tortillas (8 small corn or flour tortillas)
  • Avocado (1, sliced)
  • Cilantro (1/4 cup, chopped)
  • Lime (1, cut into wedges)
  • Blackberry syrup (1/2 cup)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, cumin, chili powder, and salt until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly crispy, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  4. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the blackberry syrup. In a small saucepan, gently heat the blackberry syrup over low heat until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
  5. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or wrap them in foil and place them in the oven for a few minutes.
  6. To assemble the tacos, take a warm tortilla and spread a spoonful of black beans on top. Add a generous amount of roasted sweet potatoes, a few slices of avocado, and drizzle with the warm blackberry syrup.
  7. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
  8. Enjoy your delicious Blackberry Syrup Sweet Potato and Black Bean Tacos!
