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!
