Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lime, plus wedges for serving
  • 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed
  • ½ bunch cilantro, chopped, plus more for garnish
  • 3 scallions, sliced thin
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • Fresh to Market Pico de Gallo, to taste

Preparation

Heat oven to 375°F.

Mix together chili powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Combine spice mix, sweet potatoes, and olive oil in a mixing bowl and coat evenly. Spread into a single layer on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 10–15 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are just tender.

Remove from oven and drizzle with lime juice. Spread black beans out on the baking sheet with the sweet potatoes, then return to oven and heat for 2 minutes. Toss black beans and sweet potatoes with cilantro and scallions to combine.

Gently toast tortillas in a dry sauté pan. Serve bean and sweet potato mixture in warm tortillas with pico de gallo and cilantro, plus lime wedges on the side.
