I’ve began to get Misfit Market veggies and fruits during the Quarantine. It was easier to make sure I had fresh veggies and fruit. This past week I received about 6 sweet potatoes, so I decided to make a roasted sweet potato taco for lunch.
If you want to make this Gluten-Free, you can use corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas. It’s your choice which type of tortilla you want to use for your taco. This recipe is easily vegan if you don’t use any cheese or sour cream on the taco. Instead use avocado for the creaminess of cheese or make cashew sour cream to put on the taco.
This recipe is easily adaptable for what you like.
What you need to make the recipe:
- sweet potatoes
- avocado or extra virgin olive oil
- taco seasoning – Homemade or storebought
- tortillas – corn or flour
- refried beans – The one from Trader Joes is vegan.
- Optional toppings: lime, sour cream, avocado, cheese (Cotija or Feta), cilantro, salsa
When I made mine, I topped it with lime, Feta cheese, salsa, and cilantro.
