Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat the oven to 425°F. Toss the sweet potatoes with the olive oil, half the cumin, half the smoked paprika, and a generous pinch of salt. Spread on a sheet pan in a single layer.

  2. Step 2

    Roast for 18 to 20 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the edges are caramelized and the centers are tender.

  3. Step 3

    Meanwhile, warm the black beans in a small saucepan with the remaining cumin and paprika and a splash of water. Mash about a quarter of them with the back of a spoon for body. Season with salt.

  4. Step 4

    Char the tortillas directly over a gas flame for a few seconds per side, or warm them in a dry skillet.

  5. Step 5

    Slice the avocado. Build each taco with beans, sweet potato, avocado, a squeeze of lime, and a few cilantro leaves.
