Honey-Lime Black Bean and Sweet Potato Tacos #SundaySupper
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!

Notes
If changing the recipe serving quantity, the recipe plugin will change the ingredient values for you, but it does NOT change the written instructions, those are manually added and not subject to a slider/button. You will have to extrapolate that multiplication to any amounts listed in the instructions.
For example: if an ingredient calls for 4 cups, and you doubled the recipe, it will automatically change to 8 cups. In the instructions, if I say “use 4 cups of cheese”, you will have to realize that since you doubled it, you use 8 cups, not 4

Pingback: Colombian Red Beans - Frisoles Antioquenos for #SundaySupper -
These are super yummy. I like to sprinkle on some cotija cheese. The recipe says 6 servings but i can’t get more than 3.
I’m so glad you love the recipe Catherine! Ooooh cotija cheese would be phenomenal on these, great tip 🙂 Well it all depends how big your servings are. When I make this my husband and I each have about 3 tacos and there’s still some left over
If I could have some self-control with these, it would probably be 6 servings 😉
Lol I know what you mean, we go crazy on these when I make them 🙂 The good news is, if you double the recipe and have some left, it does freeze fairly well 🙂
I love the combination of sweet potatoes and black beans – those tacos sound delicious! Pinned 🙂
Thank you so much Kat!! We can’t get enough of these tacos 🙂
They look so good! What interesting combination of flavours you put together! It’s almost dinner time here… and I’m drooling over your pictures!
Thank you so much Margherita!! I crave these tacos at least once a week 😀 😀
I love light suppers and I always try vegetarian at least once/week. Your tacos looks great, I have only tried to make my own tortillas once and remember a flour filled kitchen and horrible pieces of what should have been tortillas! Yours looks great and this looks so yummy 🙂
Thank you Petra!! You know, when I first tried making tortillas I think I was covered in more flour than was actually IN the tortillas lol 🙂
These tacos look delicious, love the sweet potato filling, and those tortillas…I could devour a couple right now. 🙂
Thank you Jo!! I can’t even count the number of times I’ve made this meal, they’re just that good 🙂 I make the filling and wrap them in wontons and egg rolls too 🙂
I totally agree that suppers should be shared. That was some of our best times together. It does get difficult at times, but it’s even easier to make excuses not to do it when it can be done. Your taco’s look delicious! I made my own tortillas once and they weren’t great. I’ll have to try your recipe!
I love gathering around the dinner table, eating great food, sharing memories and talking about our days… it’s one of those things that will never get old 🙂 I hope you like my recipe, it’s definitely a staple in our house… my husband gets all snobby if I bring home a package of store-bought tortillas… he’s hooked on the homemade lol 🙂
I love Tacos in all forms. Your recipe sounds like I will add it to my personal recipe list, so delicious! Thanks for sharing and inspiring.
Thank you Cecilia!! I hope you love them as much as we do 😀 😀

Thank you so much!! I’m so glad you like it 😀 Ooooh I make cilantro lime rice all the time, it’s so tasty!
I am reminded of, ‘eat the rainbow’, when I look at the vegetable goodness packed in this tortilla. i can imagine the burst of flavours in the mouth at the first bite. Ah, too tempting, Amanda!
Thank you so much!! The flavors really come alive in these… it almost tastes too good to be healthy!
Tacos? I’m there!
Lol, I’m the same way… anything to do with tacos is a win in my book 😀

such a lovely light dish
Thank you so much! 🙂
I love this recipe. All the flavors seem so fresh and light.
Thank you!! I thought it would be a nice change to lighten up and head into Spring 🙂
Honey lime is a favorite flavor combination in our house. Black beans are my favorite bean variety, and sweet potato is probably my husband’s favorite food (although if you asked him he’d probably declare a meat of some kind). These tacos will be made, and hopefully soon!
Awesome!! Sounds like these will be a hit in your household 🙂 I really hope you all love them!
omg … I love everything about this recipe! Putting on our weekly dinner menu soon!
Thank you so much!! I hope you all LOVE it 😀
Rustic or not, these tacos look incredible. I love the combination of corn, sweet potatoes and beans. The honey cilantro lime dressing is just icing on the cake…er, I mean the taco. 🙂
And I’m actually inspired to have some tacos without meat! WOW! Amazing pics, love the sauce and the whole recipe! Happy Sunday!!
Thank you girl!! 🙂 I know, me… the chicken queen… posting a vegetarian taco recipe. Crazy huh? 🙂 I’m completely sold on these flavors, although my next taco recipe will be one using your sticky chicken fingers!
This recipe looks delicious and I love the fresh flavor combinations.
Thank you so much! 🙂 I wanted to break out of our freezing and snowy winter with some fresh spring-y flavors 🙂
What a fabulous idea and perfect for my vegetarian daughter.
Thank you Marlene! 🙂 Awesome, I’m liking more and more vegetarian meals lately!
I love this veggie taco dish with beans and sweet potatoes! So healthy as well as delicious!!!
Thank you Valerie! 🙂 I love healthier versions of our favorite foods… all the taste and no guilt 😀
Sounds delish for an easy meal!
Thank you! It’s definitely easy to throw together 🙂
What a fantastic recipe! I love all the flavors, and that sauce looks out of this world!
Thank you so much! 😀 I’m going to be using that sauce on just about everything now, I can’t get enough of it lol 🙂
Such a delectable combination of ingredients! And your yummy sauce pushes these tacos over the top 🙂
Thank you so much Liz!! 🙂 I could probably drink that sauce, I can’t get enough of it lol 🙂
Welcome to the Sunday Supper family Amanda! I LOVE this recipe, every single ingredient is up my ally and that sauce…….MUST MAKE!

Welcome to SundaySupper! What delicious tacos! Your recipe has been swooning! I love that you finished off the sweet and spicy combination with a honey, cilantro and lime sour cream!
Thank you so much!! 🙂 I’m a sucker for any kind of sauce I can drizzle lol 🙂
Welcome to Sunday Supper!
I’ve always thought that tacos needed meat or seafood – until now. Wow! I’m loving all the components especially the sweet potatoes.
Thank you Renee, I’m very excited to be joining this week 😀 All the flavors really go well together, and the sweet potatoes are my favorite part too 🙂
