Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 small cassava tortillas
- 1 large avocado
- 1 large lime
- 0.5 medium-sized red onion
- 0.25 cup (chopped) fresh cilantro
- 1 small jalapeño (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced sweet potatoes, olive oil, smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until they are soft on the inside and slightly crispy on the edges.
While the sweet potatoes roast, prepare your toppings. Dice the avocado and red onion. Slice the jalapeño (if using). Chop the fresh cilantro. Cut the lime into wedges.
Warm the cassava tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side or until pliable.
Assemble the tacos by placing a generous amount of roasted sweet potatoes on each tortilla. Top with diced avocado, red onion, jalapeño slices, and chopped cilantro. Squeeze lime juice over the top before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Paleo Spicy Potato Tacos!
