These Black Bean Sweet Potato Tacos are healthy, fresh and vegan. Ready in 30 minutes and full of spice and flavor!
Tacos are one of the easiest meals to vegan-ize. If I’m eating out with friends I always suggest getting Mexican. Every Mexican joint I have gone to has always been super flexible and accommodating when I tell them my diet needs.
And in all honesty, I usually end up getting a meal better than anything they have on the menu.

MY LATEST VIDEOSThe lesson here: don’t be afraid to eat at restaurants that aren’t designated as “vegan”. You’ll be surprised at how easy it is to find something to eat and how nice the servers are!
Now, even though I love going out for Taco Tuesday, sometimes you want to stay in. And these tacos are just as good (or better) as anything you can buy out.
Roasted sweet potatoes are seasoned and served with black beans and a zesty coleslaw on top of heated corn tortillas. Add some guacamole or hot sauce on top and you have a healthy and flavor-packed dinner..
