Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ pounds sweet potato about two large, peeled and chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil extra virgin
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • ¼ red onion finely chopped
  • 8 tortillas warmed
  • 1 avocado diced
  • sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
  • 1 lime cut to wedges
  • 1 recipe Apple Slaw optional topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. Peel the sweet potatoes and chop them into small, bite-sized cubes. In a medium bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes in olive oil, chili powder, minced garlic, salt and pepper.
  • Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast for about 25 minutes.
  • Assemble the tacos! Each tortilla will get a generous spoonful of the roasted potatoes and apple slaw. Garnish with chopped red onions, diced avocado and a lime wedge.

Notes

Tips on warming tortillas

My favorite way to warm tortillas is by placing the tortillas on a gas burner and allowing the flame to lightly charr the edges and toast the center. Unfortunately, I do not have a gas stove in our current home.
Tortillas can be warmed in the oven in small batches. Wrap 3-5 tortillas in tinfoil and place them in an oven preheated to 350 degrees. This takes about 15-20 minutes, so try to do this so that the tortillas are finished warming when the taco filling is ready!
