Ingredients

  • 3 Tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
  • 1 medium-sized sweet potato chopped into ½-inch pieces
  • 2.5 oz baby spinach or greens of choice
  • 6 to 8 large eggs well beaten
  • 1 tsp chili powder optional
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 14-oz can black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 to 2 ripe avocados peeled and sliced
  • 6 to 8 corn tortillas
  • 1 to 2 cups grated cheese optional
  • salsa or hot sauce
  • sour cream or Greek yogurt

Instructions

Directions: Sweet Potato Black Bean Breakfast Tacos

  • Begin by heating the avocado oil or olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped sweet potatoes. Season with salt, pepper, and optional chili powder. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the baby spinach (or your choice of greens) to the skillet with the sweet potatoes. Sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes until the greens are wilted and vibrant.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and season with salt and black pepper. Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet with the sweet potato and spinach mixture. Stir gently, cooking until the eggs are just set, about 3-4 minutes.
  • In a separate small saucepan, warm the black beans over low heat until heated through. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable. To assemble, layer a generous scoop of the sweet potato and egg mixture onto each tortilla, followed by a spoonful of warm black beans. Top with slices of avocado and grated cheese if desired.
  • Finish off your tacos with salsa or hot sauce, and a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt for a creamy contrast.

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Spatula
  • Knife and cutting board

Notes

  • Store the filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days to enjoy meal-prepped breakfasts.
  • Keep tortillas separate from filling to prevent sogginess when storing.
  • Try substituting sweet potatoes with butternut squash or zucchini for a different flavor.
  • For a dairy-free option, omit cheese or use plant-based cheese alternatives.
  • Add diced jalapeños or extra chili powder for a spicy kick.
