Sweet Potato Tacos Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
• Trim and discard the tough green parts from the leeks, then cut them in in half lengthwise. Swirl in water to remove any sand. Pat dry.
• On a large baking tray, place the leeks, sweet potatoes and garlic. Pour melted butter and salt evenly over the vegetables.
• Bake for 25 minutes.
• In a large saucepan, bring the white wine, thyme and parsley to a boil and cook until it loses the raw alcohol smell, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to a bare simmer.
• When the leeks are golden take both leeks and garlic off the tray. Place potatoes back in the oven for another 20 minutes.
• Add leeks and garlic into the simmering wine sauce. Cook until leeks are tender, about 30 minutes.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Pull the leeks from the cooking liquid, pat them dry and add to the butter to cook briefly on both sides, about 3 minutes total.
• Remove the stem ends from the leeks and cut into 2-inch (5 cm) lengths.
• For each taco, heat 2 tortillas on a griddle or in a large skillet over medium-high heat with a little butter. Place 2 slices of Oaxaca cheese next to them on the griddle. When the tortillas are warmed through, stack them on top of the cheese.
• When the cheese has browned on one side, remove the tortillas and cheese to a plate, cheese-side up.
• Add 2 to 3 strips of leek and some sweet potato. Spoon over 1½ to 2 teaspoons salsa and sprinkle with 2 teaspoons crumbled feta, a few toasted pine nuts, and 1 teaspoon minced green onions and serve immediately. Repeat using the remaining ingredients.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Peel onion and sweet potato and dice into 1/2 inch cubes. Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add onion, potato and salt and cook until onion begins to soften, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally until potato is tender, 8 - 9 minutes.
• Increase heat to medium-high and add chorizo. Cook, breaking up sausage with the back of a spoon until cooked through, 7 - 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat tortillas in an oven or microwave, or char over an open flame until warmed and softened. Wrap in foil or a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.
• Stack and thinly slice lettuce; combine in a bowl with juice of a lime half and cotija. Halve, peel and pit and thinly slice avocados; put in another bowl and toss with juice from remaining lime juice.
• Spoon about 3 tablespoons chorizo-sweet potato mixture into each warm tortilla. Divide lettuce and avocado among tacos.

Steps:

• 1. In a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, add diced sweet potatoes and 1/4 cup water. Cook until tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Add garlic and navy beans, cook 2 to 3 minutes until garlic is fragrant and beans are heated through. Add corn, paprika, cumin, chill powders and remaining water. Cook until water has evaporated, about 3 to 5 minutes.
• 2. To make the sauce, add yogurt, chipotle powder (more if you would like it spicier) and lime juice to a small bowl; stir until combined.
• 3. Serve sweet potato and bean filling on tortillas topped with avocado, chipotle sauce and cilantro.

Steps:

• For the aioli: Stir together the mayonnaise, adobo sauce and lime juice in a small bowl. Stir in enough water (a tablespoon or so) to make a thick sauce that you can drizzle. Refrigerate while you make the taquitos to blend the flavors.
• For the taquitos: Heat the olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the sweet potatoes and onions and season with salt. Cook, tossing occasionally, until the onion softens, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cumin and toss. Make a space in the center of the pan and add the adobo sauce and tomato paste; let toast for a minute and then stir into the vegetables. Add 1/2 cup water and bring to a simmer. Cook until the sweet potatoes are very tender and the sauce is very thick, about 5 minutes (you can add a few more tablespoons of water if the pan dries out too quickly). Stir in the lime zest and transfer to a medium bowl to cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
• Heat 1 inch of vegetable oil in a straight-sided skillet until it reaches 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer. Wrap the tortillas in a damp kitchen towel and microwave until warmed and pliable, about 1 minute.
• Working with a couple tortillas at a time, form about 2 tablespoons of filling into a log and roll in a tortilla to make a cigar shape, leaving the ends open. Secure closed with toothpicks. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
• Fry the taquitos in 2 or 3 batches (don't crowd the pan) until crisp and golden, 3 to 4 minutes per batch, letting the oil return to 350 degrees F between batches. Drain on a paper-towel-lined baking sheet and season with salt. Remove the toothpicks.
• Serve the taquitos on a bed of romaine, topped with the kimchi, a drizzle of aioli and the cilantro leaves.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, combine the sweet potatoes and poblanos. Drizzle over olive oil and add the McCormick® Original Taco Seasoning packet. Mix together.
• Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes, stirring halfway, until soft and browned.
• Meanwhile, make the pickled onions: Add the onion to a medium heatproof bowl.
• Add the water, vinegar, and sugar to a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
• Pour the pickling liquid over the onion to submerge. Let cool.
• Make the avocado crema: Add the avocado, yogurt, salt, and lime juice to a blender or food processor, and blend on high speed until smooth.
• When the vegetables have finished roasting, remove from the oven and immediately transfer to a large bowl, then toss with the black beans.
• To assemble the tacos, spread 1-2 tablespoons of avocado crema in the center of a warm tortilla and top with about ⅓ cup of the roasted sweet potato mixture, 1 tablespoon pickled onions, ½ tablespoon crumbled Cotija cheese, and a small bunch of microgreens. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Enjoy!
