Sweet Potato & Black Bean Tacos
(dairy free - plant based - vegan)


Ingredients

• 3 medium-sized sweet potatoes
• 1 can of black beans
• 2 tbsp coconut oil
• 1 avocado
• 1 pinch of salt
• Lime wedges (optional) 
• Tortillas (CLICK HERE for my favorite recipe)
• Chipotle Cream Sauce (CLICK HERE)


Instructions

• Start by peeling and cubing your sweet potato (I recommend doing smaller cubes to allow them to cook through without having to boil them before adding)
• Heat coconut oil in a pan on medium heat and add your sweet potatoes and a pinch of salt
• Cover and cook on medium heat for about 20-25 minutes or until you reach desired texture
• Next, in a small pot cook black beans on medium heat for about 10 minutes
• Once cooked, strain and rinse off excess bean juice to avoid soggy tacos
• Lastly, heat tortillas in a pan, remove from heat, and assemble your tacos with your fave toppings! 


These tacos are a fam favorite and are in our weekly rotation.
Hope you love it as much as we do!
 Serves 2, with lunch leftovers :)

MOTHER'S DAY GIFT GUIDE

By Courtney Thompson • May 1, 2021
Mother’s day always brings up so many emotions for me. I miss my mom and I wish she was here to be loved on. It’s important to remember that time is short, so cherish everyday and make sure you tell your mom you love them even if they tell you the same thing 11x ;) As you think of sweet gestures, remember that it doesn’t have to cost you a thing to make her feel special, seen, loved and appreciated. Make her a meal, pick flowers from the garden, deep clean the house, be present with her. Times are tough so never feel pressured to purchase, but if you want to get her something, I’ve shared a few ideas that I would love to gift my momma in hopes this helps you!
