Servings:

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
Peel and dice the sweet potatoes and place them in a bowl.
Add the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cumin, and enough olive oil to coat (I used 1/4 cup).
Toss well to combine the spices and oil with the sweet potatoes chunks.
Transfer the sweet potatoes to a nonstick baking sheet and roast at 450 degrees for 15 minutes.
Stir and flip the sweet potatoes, then roast for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the edges are crispy.
While the sweet potatoes are cooking, add the diced onion, minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon of olive oil to a large skillet.
Cook the onion and garlic over medium high heat for 7-10 minutes, until the onion is soft and translucent.
Add the drained black beans, lime juice, and cooked sweet potatoes to the skillet and stir until heated through.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
Serve the sweet potato and black bean filling on soft taco shells.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro add toppings of choice. We love sour cream, avocado, and fresh squeezed lime juice!

Use lime juice to your taste. I personally love lime juice, and used the juice of 2 whole limes for my filling
Use vegan sour cream if you are dairy free
