Ingredients
Scale
1 ½ pounds sweet potatoes (about 6 cups), cut into ½” cubes
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 ½ cups green pepper (2 medium peppers), cut into 1" pieces
1 cup red pepper (1 medium pepper), cut into 1” pieces
14.5 ounces black beans, rinsed and drained
½ cup frozen yellow corn, thawed and drained
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons lime juice
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
Corn or flour tortillas
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with 3 tablespoons of olive oil until nicely coated. Sprinkle the spices over the sweet potatoes and stir until every piece is covered.
Spread the sweet potatoes on a greased baking sheet and roast for about 20 minutes, stirring halfway through.
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, add the green and red peppers to another bowl, toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Once the sweet potatoes are slightly browned, add the peppers to the pan, mix gently, and return to the oven for another 20 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix together honey, lime juice, and cilantro for the sauce.
After roasting, stir in the black beans and thawed corn until well combined.
Drizzle the sauce over the filling, stir until coated, and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes.
Serve warm in tortillas with your desired toppings.
