Open Face Red Bean Sweet Potato Tacos
Open Face Red Bean Sweet Potato Tacos
Open Face Red Bean Sweet Potato Tacos are a delicious and unique twist on traditional tacos. Instead of a folded tortilla, these tacos feature all the classic taco toppings piled high on a single tortilla, creating an open-faced presentation. The sweet potatoes add a natural sweetness and heartiness, while the red beans provide a satisfying protein-packed element.
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato cubed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- Sea salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 tablespoon sugar
- 1 red onion halved and thinly sliced
- 14 oz. red kidney beans canned, rinsed and drained
- 1 avocado
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 lime juiced
- 4 large tortillas or 8 small
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400° F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper for easy clean up.
- In large bowl, toss sweet potatoes with olive oil and ground cumin. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Arrange on prepared baking sheet. Roast 20-25 minutes or until brown and slightly crisp around the edges.
- While sweet potatoes roast, heat water, vinegar, salt, and sugar in a small saucepan to a steady simmer.
- Place red onion in a glass jar. Pour vinegar mixture over the onions. Cool 10-15 minutes at room temperature and then transfer to refrigerator to chill. (The pickled onions will have best flavor if made in advance).
- Meanwhile, combine avocado, sour cream, garlic, and lime juice in a blender. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
- Assemble tacos by spreading a dollop of avocado sauce on each tortilla, followed by roasted sweet potato chunks, black beans, pickled red onion, and fresh parsley. Enjoy!

Notes
While they can be eaten right away, for best flavor, pickled onions should be made in advance.
