- 1 medium sweet potato chopped into ½-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 cup chopped red onion
- ⅔ cup frozen corn
- 1 medium zucchini chopped into ½-inch pieces
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 15 ounce can black beans rinsed and drained
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ¾ teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- 8 small flour or corn tortillas
- 1 large avocado diced or sliced
- ½ cup queso fresco, cotija or feta cheese crumbled, optional
Preheat oven to 425° F. Place the cubed sweet potato on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil toss to coat. Bake sweet potatoes for 20-25 minutes, until tender, tossing once halfway through the bake time.
Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the red onion and frozen corn and cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes. Then add the zucchini and continue cooking, stirring often, for 3-4 minutes, until zucchini starts to soften.
Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the garlic, black beans, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes, until the beans are heated through. Then stir in the roasted sweet potatoes. Remove the pan from the heat.
Warm the tortillas between two paper towels in the microwave (or warm in a skillet over medium heat).
Fill tortillas with the black bean/veggie mixture, then top with avocado and cheese. Serve.
