Simple, fresh, filling, healthy, and incredibly flavourful...tacos for the win!
Try our easy sweet potato tacos tonight! The warm, spicy, roasted veggies, pair perfectly with the creamy avocado and the cool freshness of the coriander and lime.
One of the best things about tacos is their versatility. Feel free to adapt this recipe to your mood! You could try adding some black beans and fresh corn, and topping with a dollop of plain Greek yoghurt. For even more freshness and a little crunch, make a quick slaw with some red or green cabbage, thinly sliced apple, a little honey, apple cider vinegar, and salt and pepper.
