Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potato Tacos:
- 1 cup black beans, drained
- 1 cup corn (canned or frozen work, simply thaw if they are frozen)
- 2–3 cups fresh kale, chopped
- 1–2 sweet potatoes, cubed (option to peel)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
- kosher salt
- 8 small tortillas of choice
Tahini Sauce:
- 1/2 cup tahini
- 1–2 tablespoons real maple syrup
Instructions
- Bake Sweet Potatoes: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut sweet potatoes into small cubes (peel if you want to), toss with one tablespoon olive oil, and sprinkle with salt. Place in a single layer on a parchment-lined sheet pan and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are soft, but firm.
- Sauté Kale: While the sweet potatoes are baking, bring a large skillet to a medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Add chopped kale and stir to coat in oil, sprinkle with salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes and then transfer to a small bowl.
- Tahini Sauce: Put the Sauce ingredients in a small bowl and whisk to combine.
- Assemble Tacos: take a tortilla and add sautéed kale, black beans, corn, and roasted sweet potatoes. Drizzle with maple tahini sauce and serve with lime wedges for that fresh squeeze of lime.
Notes
- Storage: leftover taco fillings can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
- Seasoning: we kept the sweet potatoes simple, but feel free to toss in a homemade taco seasoning for an extra punch of flavor!
