Prepration for:Vegan Sweet Potato & Hemp Heart Tacos (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Soy-Free)

Step 1/6

Roast the sweet potatoes

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.

Step 2/6

Prepare the filling

While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the black beans, corn, red onion, and garlic, cooking for 5–7 minutes, or until the onions become translucent and the mixture is heated through.

Step 3/6

Add hemp hearts and lime juice

Once the sweet potatoes are done roasting, add them to the skillet with the bean and corn mixture. Stir in the hemp hearts and lime juice, mixing everything together until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or spices if needed.

Step 4/6

Warm the tortillas: Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or in the microwave for about 20 seconds, until soft and pliable.

Step 5/6

Assemble the tacos: Spoon the sweet potato and hemp heart filling onto the warm tortillas. Top with slices of avocado, fresh cilantro, a drizzle of salsa, and tahini (if using).

Step 6/6

Serve and enjoy: Serve the tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side for extra flavor.

Chef's Tips & Notes

For extra heat, add sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce to the tacos.

If you prefer a smokier flavor, try adding a dash of chipotle powder or smoked salt to the filling.

You can make the filling ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just reheat before serving.
