Vegetarian Mexi Tacos
Serves 2-3
Ingredients:
Tortillas or taco shells
1 sweet potato
1 tsp olive oil
Pinch chilli powder or cayenne pepper
2 x 400g black beans cans
1 tsp cumin powder
½ tsp coriander powder
½ tsp chilli flakes (optional)
1 x 300g jar of salsa (we love Byron Bay Chilli Co Salsas! Spicy or mild!)
1 large avocado
¼ red onion
½ cucumber
1 tomato or a handful of cherry tomatoes
1 lime
Handful of fresh coriander
Salt
Cracked pepper
Sour cream (optional)
Feta or vegan cheese (optional)
Method:
- Preheat oven to 200C and line a tray with baking paper.
- Peel and cut sweet potatoes into cubes. Put in a bowl, add olive oil, chilli or cayenne pepper, and season with salt and pepper. Mix through so the sweet potato is coated, drizzle in a little more oil if needed.
- Place in a single layer on the baking tray and roast for approximately 30 minutes or until the sweet potato is soft.
- Mash avocado in a bowl and squeeze juice from half a lime, add salt and pepper to taste and a handful of chopped coriander.
- Diced red onion, cucumber and tomato. Add to avocado and give it a good mix.
- Drain and rinse black beans and place in a saucepan on a low heat. Mix in the salsa and spices (cumin, coriander, chilli flakes), and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat your tortillas in a pan or pop taco shells in the oven as per packet directions.
- Assemble your tortilla or taco with as much bean mix as you like, followed by roasted sweet potato, a dollop of guacamole and an extra squeeze of lime.
- Top these with some feta cheese or sour cream, or easily keep vegan by trying some of our vegan dairy alternatives.
Tips:
- In a hurry? Skip the sweet potato and stick to black bean tacos.
- Don’t have black beans? Red kidney beans would work too!
- For a different texture, roughly mash the beans.
- Love avocado? Add more!
