Ingredients to make sweet potato and black bean tacos
- Sweet potatoes. Use potatoes instead of sweet potatoes. It will be just as tasty, but sweet potatoes have super special nutritional powers. And in a taco, everything tastes delicious.
- Onion. Diced or sliced. Any onion works; use what you have on hand.
- Black beans. You can use canned or home-cooked beans.
- Oil.
- BBQ sauce. You can use homemade or store-bought bbq sauce. In this post, you will find the recipe for a homemade spicy bbq sauce.
How to make black bean and sweet potato tacos?

- Step two. Heat the tortillas.
- Step three. Make the salad. And then enjoy.
Tips and ideas to make the best tacos
- Cut the sweet potatoes to the same size. This makes them cook at the same time and makes each bite delicious.
- Do not put the black beans in until the sweet potatoes are cooked and soft; the beans can burn.
- Heat the tortillas until everything is done; you don’t want them to get hard.
- If you can’t find red cabbage, try green cabbage or kale, or even iceberg lettuce.
- Serve with salsa verde or salsa roja molcajeteada.
🔥GIVE IT A TWIST🔥 If you don't have sweet potatoes, use potatoes, it will be just as good. You can also make tostadas instead of tacos.
