I made these Black Bean and Corn Sweet Potato Tacos the other day, and it was a major learning experience.
Like I said in a previous post, I am not perfect when it comes to making certain recipes, but I learn from them and adjust along the way.
I found this a long time ago and finally got around to making it. I am a huge fan of sweet potatoes, and I had never tried them until high school. We had them at lunch one day and I was so confused by them and didn't even know how to eat them. But, you can make them so many different ways, so it's awesome!!
I tried to make my own gluten free tortillas for them and failed HORRIBLY. The recipes I tried were terrible and basically made the consistency of silly putty. I was extremely frustrated. I gave up and went to the grocery store (it was -10 this day) and bought the best kind of whole wheat I could find. SO, if anyone has a great gluten free tortilla/wrap recipe, please let me know!!! (I tried one that worked, but it tasted too much like egg, so I won't be using that again)
Then, I made the meal and struggled a bit with that, too.
First, they say to bake the sweet potatoes for only 15-20 minutes! I should have realized this was not enough time to make sure they are tender anyway, but I didn't. They were NOT. I would recommend maybe double the amount of time, around 40 minutes. However, I was already making the other ingredients while it was baking/really hungry, so I sucked it up and ate them anyway. They were kind of hard, but oh well.
Either way, these were really great and I topped them with hot sauce and avocado. For a lighter cheese option, I do recommend feta. It is delicious and flavorful, so you really don't need a lot anyway.
This made a good amount of food, so there was plenty for leftovers, and it's very easy to make!
LOTS of hot sauce because I love the spice!
