Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable broth
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional
1 tablespoon vegetable broth
1 small yellow or white onion, finely chopped
salt
2 teaspoons ground cumin
¼ teaspoon chili powder

โ
cup water
1 teaspoon sherry vinegar or lime juice
black pepper to taste
8 to 10 small corn tortillas

INSTRUCTIONS
Roast the sweet potatoes:
2.Preheat the oven to 425โ and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
3.Toss the prepared sweet potatoes with the veggie broth, cayenne pepper (if using) and salt.
4.Arrange in a single layer and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, tossing halfway, until the sweet potatoes are tender and caramelizing at the edges.
Prepare the black beans:
1.Warm vegetable broth in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and a sprinkle of salt. 2.Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions have softened and are turning translucent, about 5 to 8 minutes. Add the cumin and chili powder and cook for about 30 seconds while stirring. Pour in the beans and water. Stir, cover and reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer.
3.Cook for 5 minutes, then remove the lid and use a potato masher or a fork to mash up at least half of the beans.
4.Remove from heat, stir in the vinegar, season with salt (a little over ¼ teaspoon) and pepper, and cover until you’re ready to serve.
5.To assemble the tacos, spread black beans down the middle of each tortilla, then top with some sweet potatoes and cilantro dip.
6.Repeat with remaining tortillas and serve.
