You know I’m all about meat… burgers, chicken, steak… you name it! But sometimes you just want to lighten it up a bit, and that’s where this meal comes into play. It’s a vegetarian taco meal, but for all you omnivores out there… don’t be turned off by the lack of meat… these black bean and sweet potato soft tacos are hearty enough to satisfy both vegetarians and meat-eaters alike!

Now tell me that doesn’t look hearty and delicious! 🙂 Peeled sweet potatoes are roasted with spices until they’re lightly caramelized, then sauteed with black beans, corn, onions, and tossed with a touch of honey and lime. Spoon that wonderful taco filling into some flour tortillas, top with some diced buttery avocado, shredded lettuce and purple cabbage, and torn cilantro leaves, and finish with a cool and refreshing honey, cilantro, and lime sour cream.

Not only is this meal incredibly delicious and hearty, it’s also simple to prepare… in about 30 minutes! Perfect for a quick weeknight meal 🙂

You may have noticed the extra part of my post title… #SundaySupper. This is a group I’ve recently become a part of that I hold very close to my heart. It’s all about bringing families around the dinner table to share a meal prepared with love, and promoting togetherness. Growing up, more often than not, we all had dinner together. At the time, I didn’t realize how important that was, but I do now. My kids are young, so it’s easy for us all to have a meal together. Even when my husband works late… if it’s at all possible, I hold dinner so we can try to eat together. As the kids get older, I know it will be harder to always eat together, but I love the idea of a Sunday dinner. So I’m very excited to be a part of this movement and I hope you’ll all share in my excitement!

This week’s #SundaySupper event is all about BEANS 🙂 A big thanks to Tammie over at Momma’s Meals for hosting this event!

Okay, on to the recipe at hand 🙂 The first thing you’ll do is peel some sweet potatoes, toss them with some olive oil and your seasonings. Roast them in the oven for about 20-25 minutes.

While the potatoes are roasting, saute your onion and garlic, then add in the drained black beans, and corn. Add in the roasted sweet potatoes and toss together with some honey and lime juice and minced cilantro.

Your filling is complete! You may have noticed in the beginning pictures that my flour tortillas look a little… ahem… rustic and not quite round and uniform lol. I made my own Flour Tortillas earlier in the day 🙂 If you’ve never made your own before… don’t be scared by it… it’s verrrrrry simple, takes about 30-40 minutes, and the flavor is absolutely incredible! However, these black bean tacos would still be amazingly good with store-bought tortillas as well 🙂

Now you can top these tacos with any toppings you want, seriously, customize these to your tastes 🙂 I chose some shredded romaine lettuce, shredded purple cabbage (I love the color and the crunch), diced avocado, roughly chopped cilantro leaves and a delicious cream sauce. To make the sauce I just combined sour cream, lime juice, cilantro, honey, and a pinch of salt and chili powder in my food processor and pulsed until I had a smooth, creamy sauce.

You can see that the cream sauce is completely optional… the tacos are delicious with or without it 🙂

I’m getting hungry for one of these tacos just from writing this post!
