How to make vegetarian tortillas with sweet potatoes and black beans
These vegetable tacos are quickly blended together. We love sweet potatoes, but you can also make them with roasted butternut squash.
First place the sweet potatoes in the oven – roast with olive oil, cumin, salt and pepper until golden brown and sweet.
You can make salads when the potatoes are roasted. Very simple. Mix the cabbage with lemon juice, sour cream and chili sauce. Chipotle adds smoky heat.
If you prefer a dairy-free colored salad, check out our mayonnaise-free coleslaw recipe. With lime juice and cilantro, it is full of flavor. Everyone loves it.
For some proteins, we add black beans to the tacos. Just cook with some olive oil and garlic. When you’re ready for sweet potatoes, add something to warm the tortillas and enjoy.

Make 4 servings

1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/3 cup sour cream
1 to 3 tablespoons chopped chipotle chili peppers with chili sauce

direction
1Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Paint a large baking tray with foil or parchment.
2Add the sweet potatoes to the baking tray with 1 tablespoon oil, cumin and salt. Try until the coating is sufficient. Arrange the sweet potatoes in a layer, then bake once, turning once, until the edges turn golden and tender for 25 to 30 minutes.
3Meanwhile, mix sour cream, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1 tablespoon chili pepper. Taste and adjust as needed with more Chipotle. Add cabbage and toss. Let the salad sit until the cabbage is slightly wilted, 10 to 15 minutes.
4Heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat about five minutes before serving. Add the garlic and cook while stirring until the toast starts, about 1 minute. Add the black beans and cook, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly heated. Remove from heat and add a second tablespoon of lemon juice.
5Make tacos by adding sweet potatoes, black beans, salad and coriander leaves to the warm tortillas. Serve with lime wedges.
Adam and Joanne’s Tips
- To make these vegans, substitute non-cream sour cream substitutes for sour cream, or make seasonings for olive oil with potato chips. We especially love dairy-free coleslaw recipes.
- Nutritional Facts: The nutritional facts provided below are estimates. We have used the USDA SuperTracker recipe calculator to calculate the approximation. Let’s assume there are 6-inch flour tortillas for calculations.
