SWEET POTATO TACOS, CORN ON THE COB W/ CASHEW CHEESE AVOCADO SAUCE
Hi beauties! Stacie here from Sun Lovin Roots and every Monday I will be bringing you an easy and super yummy plant-based recipe for Meatless Monday!
Tacos are my go-to. They are so easy to throw together and the options are endless. And I love playing around in the kitchen and coming up with different taco concoctions, and this is where these Sweet Potato Tacos came to life. The best part about these babies is that anyone will enjoy them, even you meat eaters and they are perfect to enjoy on Meatless Monday, and even better on Taco Tuesday!
These tacos came to life when I was hungry and looking for something to eat and had very little to work with. But I managed to piece together an incredible, nutritious meal that took 30 minutes start to finish. And the cashew cheese avocado sauce is probably the best thing to happen to my food in awhile… I literally was licking the bowl I made it in , guilty!
Tacos:
2 sweet potatoes (cubed)
2 tbsp. olive oil
Chili powder (to taste)
Paprika (to taste)
Cinnamon (to taste)
1 cup cooked black beans
1/2 onion (chopped)
4 corn or flour tortillas
Salsa- optional
Cashew Cheese Avocado Sauce:
1 avocado
Juice of 1 lime
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 cup cashews (soaked in water for at least 15 minutes)
1/2 cup of nutritional yeast
1/4 cup water
Directions:
Preheat oven to 450
In a bowl toss sweet potato cubes with 1 tbsp. of oil, chili powder, paprika, cinnamon, salt and pepper. Spread in one layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and set aside
In a blender (I used a Nutri Bullet) start by blending the cashews ( drain them first) with the nutritional yeast and water. Then add in the avocado, lime juice and salt/pepper. I added 1 tsp of sriracha – totally optional, but I like a little spice!
Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Add in olive oil (1 tbsp.) with chopped onions. Sauté until softened (3 minutes). Then place black beans and heat thoroughly.
Assemble tacos in tortilla (heat tortilla in a skillet over low heat) with black beans/onion mixture, sweet potatoes, and top with cashew cheese avocado sauce and salsa.
Serve and Enjoy!
