Description

A flavor-packed vegetarian taco recipe featuring roasted sweet potatoes, black beans, scallions, and a tangy blue cheese crema, all wrapped in warm tortillas.


Ingredients

Scale
  • Blue Cheese Crema:

    • ½ cup crumbled blue cheese

    • ½ cup sour cream

    • 2 Tbsp milk

    • ½ tsp ground black pepper

  • Tacos:

    • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

    • 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

    • Salt and black pepper, to taste

    • 1 (14 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed

    • ½ bunch scallions, thinly sliced

    • 12 small tortillas (corn or flour)

    • 1 ripe avocado, sliced (optional)


Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Toss diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 15–20 minutes until tender.

  • While roasting, mix blue cheese, sour cream, milk, and pepper in a bowl to make the crema. Set aside.

  • Warm tortillas on a skillet over medium heat, ~1 minute per side.

  • Once sweet potatoes are roasted, add black beans and scallions directly to the baking sheet. Toss to combine.

  • To assemble tacos: fill tortillas with sweet potato-bean mixture, top with avocado and a drizzle of blue cheese crema. Serve warm.

Notes

  • You can prep the filling and crema ahead of time for quicker assembly.

  • Swap blue cheese for feta or goat cheese for a milder flavor.

  • Turn leftovers into taco bowls with rice or quinoa.
