Ingredients

1 avocado

1/4 cup cilantro leaves

1/4 cup sour cream

2 teaspoon lime juice

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1 clove garlic

1/2 jalapeno ((optional; seeds removed for less spice))

1 tablespoon cooking oil

12 ounces sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed

1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed

1 1/2 tablespoons taco seasoning ((see note))

8 taco-sized tortillas ((flour or corn; use gluten-free corn if needed))

1 heart romaine lettuce, shredded

6 ounces goat cheese, crumbled

Method

To make the avocado crema, combine all ingredients listed under avocado crema in the bowl of a food processor and blend until smooth. Taste and add additional salt, if needed. (Note: garlic and jalapeño add additional flavor, but only use them if they are flavors you like. A blender will work here, but you may need to add a splash of water to help bring everything together.) Refrigerate up to a day ahead.

Heat a skillet over medium heat.

Add cooking oil and then sweet potatoes and saute until they are beginning to turn golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 2 Tablespoons of water to the pan and cover it with a lid or foil. Steam the sweet potatoes until tender, about 5 minutes.

Remove the lid and add black beans and taco seasoning. Saute until seasoning is fragrant and beans are heated through.

Cover the tortillas with a slightly damp paper towel and microwave until warm, 15 to 20 seconds.

Assemble tacos by filling tortillas with romaine, sweet potato / black bean mixture, crumbled goat cheese and then topping with avocado crema.
