Ingredients

for the cilantro lime avocado sauce

  • 2 avocados ripe
  • 2 limes juice
  • 1 bundle cilantro
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 jalapeño or half depending on spice
  • dash salt

for the tacos

  • 12 white corn tortillas grilled and warmed
  • 2 sweet potatoes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 jalapeño
  • handful red cabbage sliced
  • lime wedges if desired
  • handful cilantro if desired
  • 2-3 dashes cumin
  • 2-3 dashes garlic powder
  • pinch sea salt

Instructions

  • Wash your sweet potatoes then dice them into small cubes about 1/2 inch. Toss the cubes in olive oil, cumin, garlic powder and sea salt. Place them in an air fryer at 400F for 9-10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. If you don't have an air fryer, you can cook them in the oven at 400 F for 20-30 minutes. 
  • While your potatoes are cooking, thinly slice your jalapeño, cabbage, lime wedges and cilantro for your taco toppings and set them aside.
  • Prepare your cilantro lime avocado sauce by placing all the ingredients into a blender or food processor and blending until smooth. You will need to stop and scrape the sides as needed. 
  • You can heat your tortillas, two at a time in a cast iron skillet over high heat for 20-30 seconds on each side. Assemble your tacos and serve.
