Roasted Sweet Potato and Black Bean Tacos

Steps

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment.
  2. Toss the sweet potato cubes with the oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin and salt right on the pan. Spread them out so they don't touch.
  3. Roast until tender and browned at the edges, stirring once halfway.
  4. Meanwhile, warm the oil in a small saucepan over medium heat, add the garlic and stir 30 seconds. Add the beans, cumin and water and simmer, lightly mashing about a quarter of the beans, until creamy.
  5. Stir the lime juice into the beans and season with salt.
  6. Stir together the sour cream, lime juice and salt for the crema.
