Cook this recipe
- diced sweet potatoes-2 cups
- shredded red cabbage-2 cups
- salsa-1 cup
- Water-2 tablespoons
- olive oil-1 tablespoon
- canned black beans-1 can
- corn tortillas-8 each
- chili powder-1 teaspoon
- large avocado-1 large
- ground cumin-1/2 teaspoon
- salt-1/2 teaspoon
Dice the sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces if needed, slice the avocado, and have the rinsed black beans and toppings ready.
Use a stable cutting board and keep fingers clear of the knife when dicing sweet potatoes and slicing avocado.
Open the can carefully and discard the lid to avoid sharp edges.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sweet potatoes, chili powder, cumin, and salt, then stir to coat and cook for 2 minutes.
Keep the skillet handle turned inward to help prevent bumps and spills.
Cook the covered sweet potatoes until fork-tender, starting to check after 8–10 minutes. Add the measured water first and stir once; add a small splash only if the pan dries before the potatoes soften.
Lift the lid away from your face and hands to avoid hot steam.
Stir in the black beans and cook uncovered for 2 to 3 minutes, until the beans are hot and the skillet is mostly dry.
Warm tortillas in the emptied, dry skillet until flexible, about 20–30 seconds per side. Transfer filling to a plate first and wipe the skillet dry. Fill each tortilla while warm and repeat.
Use caution when handling hot tortillas and the hot skillet.
Fill the tortillas lightly enough to fold and serve excess filling and toppings alongside. Share all the sweet potatoes, beans, cabbage, avocado and salsa evenly, keeping the filling away from the hot burner.
Let hot filling cool slightly before serving to children.
