These Black Bean Sweet Potato Tacos are a fun way to add fall flavor to your favorite vegetarian Mexican dinner!

A few weeks ago I made black bean sweet potato tacos for dinner & Roger loved them!
And since I could eat Mexican food for breakfast, lunch, & dinner I decided I needed to write down a solid recipe.
Plus I wouldn’t forgive myself if I didn’t share this super easy & flavorful fall Mexican recipe!
So my sister came over to help me eat them as the filling makes enough for 8 soft taco tortillas (or even more depending on how you fill them) & I knew it would be a bad idea if I sat & ate them all by myself.
I mean I knew I could do probably do it, but it would be bad because I would definitely need to spend more time at the gym that night.
Because let’s face it, you know that after I took these pictures I loaded my black bean sweet potato soft tacos with extra sour cream, like a lot of it!
That stuff is white gold!

But you aren’t here to hear about my love for sour cream, tacos, or my never-ending desire to eat all the food!
You came here for the sweet potato black bean taco recipe.
So I’ll just let the recipe & pictures do the rest of the talking & hopefully your mouth is salivating as much as mine is while looking at these yummy tacos!
I wish you (but mainly I) could reach into these pictures, pull one (them all) out, & eat them right now!!
