Ingredients

  • 3 Sweet Potatoes peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1 pkg Taco Seasoning
  • 1/2 can black beans drained
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar Cheese

  • 5-6 soft tortillas

Instructions

  • Place cubed sweet potatoes on a baking sheet with a generous drizzle of olive oil and sprinkle them with the pack of taco seasoning.
  • Roast at 400 degrees for about 45 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender. You will need to stir a couple of times while cooking to prevent burning.
  • Once potatoes are soft place them in a bowl and mash them with a fork or potato masher until smooth.
  • Stir in the lime juice and salt and pepper if needed.
  • Cover half of the tortilla with a layer of mashed sweet potatoes, top with a spoonful of black beans, and a generous handful of cheddar cheese.
  • Fold over half of the tortilla and grill on the stove or griddle until the outside is lightly brown and the cheese is melted.

These are great plain or enjoy with your  favorite Mexican toppings such as salsa, avocado, sour cream, or cilantro.
