Ingredients

2 sweet potatoes, quartered lengthwise
3 ¼ tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 ¼ teaspoons cayenne pepper, divided
½ teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon smoked paprika, divided
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ cup pumpkin seeds
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 (16 ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
½ tablespoon ground cumin, or to taste
1 teaspoon chili powder
¾ lime, juiced, divided
6 ounces vegan sour cream
1 bunch fresh cilantro, finely chopped, divided
1 teaspoon paprika
12 (6 inch) white corn tortillas

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Cut sweet potatoes into 25 to 40 smaller "French fry"-shaped pieces.
Place sweet potato pieces in a bowl. Coat with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix until sweet potatoes are evenly coated; transfer to a large baking sheet.
Place pumpkin seeds into the same bowl. Add 1/4 tablespoon olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Spread pumpkin seeds onto a small baking sheet.
Place sweet potatoes and pumpkin seeds in the preheated oven. Bake pumpkin seeds for 2 minutes; remove and let cool. Bake potatoes, flipping halfway through, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add black beans, cumin, chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, a small squeeze of lime juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine. Cook until heated through, 5 to 7 minutes.
Combine vegan sour cream, remaining lime juice, 2 tablespoons cilantro, regular paprika, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and salt to taste. Whisk until sour cream flavor is mostly gone and lime-cilantro taste is dominant but not overpowering.
Warm tortillas in pairs in the microwave, 15 to 20 seconds.
Place 2 spoonfuls of beans onto each pair of warmed tortillas. Add 4 sweet potato pieces, a spoonful or two of sour cream mixture, some pumpkin seeds, and some cilantro.

VEGAN POTATO SOY CHORIZO TACOS

Vegan Potato Soy Chorizo Tacos image

This is a vegan version of popular Mexican tacos made are traditionally made with potatoes and pork chorizo that are deep fried, but I prefer this healthier version where you just heat the tortillas on the griddle with a very small amount of oil until they are crispy.

Ingredients

2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
12 ounces soy chorizo, crumbled
12 (6 inch) corn tortillas

Steps:

Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Cook, covered, until potatoes are easily pierced with a knife, about 30 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup cooking water.
Transfer boiled potatoes to a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Mash with a potato masher, adding reserved cooking water to reach desired consistency.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet. Cook soy chorizo for 5 minutes. Add mashed potatoes and mix well.
Heat tortillas on a hot griddle over medium heat to soften them. Fill them with equal amounts of potato-chorizo mixture. Fold them in half and brush the outside of the tortillas with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Place tacos on the hot griddle and cook, turning once, until crisp, 3 to 5 minutes.

Tips:

For the best results, use russet potatoes that are firm and free of blemishes.
Prick the potatoes with a fork before baking to help them cook evenly.
If you don't have time to bake the potatoes, you can microwave them on high for 5-7 minutes per potato.
Once the potatoes are cooked, let them cool slightly before handling them.
Use a potato masher or ricer to mash the potatoes until they are smooth and fluffy.
Season the mashed potatoes with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
For a creamy mashed potato filling, add a little vegan butter or plant-based milk.
To make the tacos extra flavorful, use a variety of toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, pico de gallo, and shredded vegan cheese.
Serve the tacos immediately with your favorite toppings.
