Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 25

2 pounds sweet potatoes (3 to 4 medium sweet potatoes), peeled and sliced into 1-inch chunks
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (omit if sensitive to spice)
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small yellow or white onion, finely chopped
Fine sea salt
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
2 cans black beans, rinsed and drained (or 3 cups cooked black beans)
1/3 cup water
1 teaspoon sherry vinegar or lime juice
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 avocados, pitted
1 cup lightly packed fresh cilantro (mostly leaves, some small stems are ok)
1/2 cup pepitas
1 small jalapeño, seeded and roughly chopped, or ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (go easy if sensitive to spice)
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons lime juice (about 1 medium lime) or 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
2 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
8 to 10 small corn tortillas
Crumbled feta
Suggested garnishes: Pickled jalapeños or pickled radishes or pickled red onions, torn cilantro, hot sauce, etc.

Steps:

  • Roast the sweet potatoes: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up. Toss the prepared sweet potatoes with the olive oil, cayenne pepper (if using) and salt. Arrange in a single layer and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, tossing halfway, until the sweet potatoes are tender and caramelizing at the edges.
  • Prepare the black beans: Warm the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and a sprinkle of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions have softened and are turning translucent, about 5 to 8 minutes. Add the cumin and chili powder and cook for about 30 seconds while stirring. Pour in the beans and water. Stir, cover and reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer.
  • Cook for 5 minutes, then remove the lid and use a potato masher or a fork to mash up at least half of the beans. Remove from heat, stir in the vinegar, season with salt (I added over 1/4 teaspoon) and pepper, and cover until you're ready to serve.
  • Make the avocado dip: First, toast the pepitas in a skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until they are fragrant and starting to make little popping noises, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  • Scoop the avocado flesh into a food processor or blender. Add the cilantro, jalapeño, garlic, lime juice, water and salt. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides of the processor/blender as necessary. Add almost all of the pepitas (reserve a few tablespoons for garnish) and process just until the pepitas are chopped into small pieces (some remaining texture is desirable). Taste, and add more salt if necessary. Transfer the dip to a small bowl for serving.
  • To warm the tortillas, heat a large skillet over medium heat and warm the tortillas in batches, flipping to warm each side. Alternatively, you can warm them directly over a low flame on a gas range. Stack the warmed tortillas on a plate and cover with a tea towel to keep warm.
  • To assemble the tacos, spread black beans down the middle of each tortilla, then top with some sweet potatoes and avocado-pepita dip. Garnish with feta, pepitas, and anything else that strikes your fancy. Repeat with remaining tortillas and serve.

Provided by Ryan and Marissa Clements

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Mexican

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

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.
