Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 medium Sweet potatoes Cut into even cubes for consistent cooking.
  • 8 small Corn tortillas Can substitute with flour tortillas or lettuce wraps.
  • 1/2 cup Cilantro, chopped
  • 1 large Avocado Sliced for topping.
  • 1 Lime, juiced Enhances flavor.
  • 1/4 cup Feta cheese, crumbled Can substitute with queso fresco or omit for a dairy-free option.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Chili flakes Adjust to taste if you prefer more heat.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and chili flakes in a bowl until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the sweet potatoes evenly on a baking sheet.
  4. Roast the sweet potatoes in the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they’re golden and tender.
Cooking
  1. While the sweet potatoes roast, lightly toast the corn tortillas in a pan over medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side.
  2. Once the sweet potatoes are ready, assemble the tacos by placing the roasted sweet potatoes on the tortillas.
  3. Top with avocado slices, feta cheese, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime.
  4. Serve the tacos warm, with extra lime wedges on the side.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider marinating the sweet potatoes in lime juice and spices before roasting. Sweet Potato Tacos pair well with side dishes like arugula salad or corn salsa.
