Sweet Potato and Black Bean Tacos maybe aren’t the first thing you’d think to make for dinner but once you try them that will change! They have the best blend of flavors and no one will even miss the meat. Easily one of the best vegetarian recipes!
Flavorful Vegetarian Tacos That Don’t Even Need the Toppings!
My husband hates sweet potatoes yet he loved these tacos. All through dinner he kept saying “mmmmm” “mmmmm, these are so good.” I’m surprised he didn’t ask if the corn was hand shucked (name that movie? It’s one of my all time faves, What About Bob).
They were good enough that I could have cared less about tomatoes, salsas and hot sauces and for me that is shocking. I like my tacos with the works and these really don’t even need it.
Yes they are also good with it but they are amazing with the filling alone. Try these and see what I mean!

How do You Cook Corn Tortillas?
Brush tortillas with olive oil and cook in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, or cook in a little olive oil in skillet (about 1/2 tsp per side). It also works well to do this on an 375 – 400 degree preheated electric griddle when making a bunch at once
