Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Toss the cubed sweet potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, cayenne pepper, and sea salt.
  • Cook the Sweet Potatoes: Oven Method: Spread the potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 30-40 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and caramelized. Air Fryer Method: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F. Add sweet potatoes in a single layer and air fry for 15–20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway, until crispy on the edges and tender inside.
  • Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the diced onion and a pinch of salt, cooking until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Stir in the chili powder and ground cumin, cooking for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Add the black beans and 1/3 cup water, stirring to combine.
  • Cover and cook for 5 minutes until heated through.
  • Mash about half of the beans with the back of a spoon or potato masher for a creamy texture.
  • Taste and season with additional salt if needed.
  • Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
  • Spread about 1/4 cup of the black bean mixture onto each tortilla.
  • Top with roasted sweet potatoes and sprinkle with feta cheese.
  • Serve immediately with desired toppings.
