Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 3 small Sweet Potato peeled and diced (or 2 large)
  • 1 Red Pepper diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ancho Chili Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Coriander Powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 1 15 oz can Black Beans drained and rinsed
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 1/3 cup Sour Cream preferably full fat
  • 1 tablespoon Chipotle Pepper in Adobo chopped (roughly 1 pepper)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Fresh Lime Juice
  • 12 Flour Tortilla or corn tortillas
  • 1/2 Red Onion
  • 1/2 cup Fresh Cilantro chopped

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add diced sweet potatoes and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
  • Add diced red pepper and spices to the pan with the sweet potatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork tender. If the pan gets dry and you notice your potatoes starting to stick, add an extra drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Stir in black beans. Cook for 1 minute to warm them through.
  • Add all of the ingredients to a small bowl. Whisk to combine.
  • Refrigerate until you’re ready to serve.

  • Top with diced red onion, a pinch of chopped cilantro, and chipotle crema.
  • Serve with hot sauce. Repeat until full.
