Description

Flavorful roasted sweet potato tacos topped with fresh slaw, creamy avocado, and zesty lime, making a delicious vegetarian meal.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 6 small corn or flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage or slaw mix
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • Optional: crumbled feta or cotija cheese, salsa, or hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spread the sweet potatoes in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through, until tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
  5. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft.
  6. Assemble the tacos: fill each tortilla with roasted sweet potatoes, shredded cabbage, avocado slices, and chopped cilantro.
  7. Serve with lime wedges and top with crumbled cheese, salsa, or hot sauce if desired.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, drizzle with a squeeze of lime or chipotle crema.
  • Leftover roasted sweet potatoes can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Make it vegan by skipping the cheese or using a plant-based alternative.
