Honey Lime Sweet Potato Tacos
Honey Lime Sweet Potato Tacos! These zesty roasted sweet potato tacos are made with black beans, fresh avocado, and your choice of toppings. They’re easy to make, naturally vegan and gluten-free, and so delicious!
I’ve been on a search for recipes that I can feed my husband and me as well as my toothless one-year-old son Cooper.
Because Cooper loves sweet potatoes, and because all of the ingredients inside this “taco” are soft, I decided to give it a try even though it seemed a little bit of a random mix of things. Oh my goodness I was in for a shock. It was SOOO good!!
It was pretty simple to make and was bursting with flavor! And did I mention full of healthy vegetables?? Personally I think anything with honey, cilantro, and lime is going to be good but add in the sweet potatoes (weird I know) and it is magic in your mouth!
