Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper, to taste

8 small corn or flour tortillas

1 avocado, sliced

1/2 cup cilantro, chopped

1 lime, juiced

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped (optional)

Hot sauce, for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Roast Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned, flipping halfway through.

      Add Corn: In the last 10 minutes of roasting, sprinkle the corn kernels over the sweet potatoes on the baking sheet. Return to the oven until the corn is heated through and slightly charred.

        Prepare Tortillas: While the sweet potatoes and corn are roasting, warm the tortillas. You can do this in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 20-30 seconds on each side or wrap them in foil and warm in the oven for the last few minutes of roasting.

          Assemble Tacos: In each tortilla, layer a generous scoop of the roasted sweet potato and corn mixture. Top with fresh avocado slices, chopped cilantro, and red onion, if using.

            Finish with Lime: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the filled tacos for an extra burst of flavor. Drizzle with hot sauce if you like a bit of heat.

              Serve and Enjoy: Serve the tacos warm with additional lime wedges and hot sauce on the side.
