Ingredients (for 8 tacos):

• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 min. until tender and lightly browned.
2. While the sweet potatoes roast, place the black beans in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the chili powder, a pinch of salt, and a splash of water. Cook for 5-7 min. stirring occasionally until heated through and well seasoned.
3. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Fill each tortilla with a spoonful of black beans, a handful of roasted sweet potatoes, a few slices of avocado, and a drizzle of salsa.
4. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, and serve immediately.
