Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil.

Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- 5
Sauté onion and bell pepper for 4-5 minutes until softened.
- 6
Add garlic, chili powder, and a pinch of salt. Cook for 1 minute.
- 7
Add black beans and cook until heated through, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in half the lime juice.

Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a gas flame.

Assemble tacos: spoon sweet potato-bean mixture onto tortillas. Top with avocado, sour cream, cilantro, and a squeeze of remaining lime juice.
Pro Tips
💡
Roast the sweet potatoes undisturbed - flipping too soon breaks the caramelized exterior.
💡
Smoked paprika adds incredible depth of flavor - don't substitute with regular paprika.
💡
Serve with hot sauce and lime wedges for extra brightness.
