Only a few ingredients, but SO MUCH flavor!!! We left off the jalapeno to make it kid-friendly but it still wowed us parents 🙂 We plan to add this to our rotation!

How to make sweet potato tacos
- Toss the sweet potatoes, jalapeño, and garlic with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer on a parchment paper-lined rimmed baking sheet.
- Roast, tossing halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender and lightly browned.
- While the sweet potato mixture roasts, prepare the cherry tomato salsa. Add the ingredients to a bowl and toss well to combine.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning, as needed. Let the salsa rest at room temperature, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are ready. Then fill warm tortillas with the sweet potato mixture, salsa, and sliced avocado.
