Marinate the Sweet Potatoes:
Toss the sweet potatoes with oil, lime, spices, and seasoning.

The sweet potatoes come out of the oven browned and smoky, then meet a cold, crisp slaw inside the tortilla. That warm-cool contrast keeps the black bean tacos bright instead of heavy.
Sweet potato and black bean tacos can go flat fast if the sweet potatoes are just roasted plain. They need salt, smoke, lime, and a little heat before they go into the oven. Once they’re browned at the edges, the black beans, peppers, onions, slaw, and pico turn them into something fresh instead of heavy. The cilantro lime slaw is what really finishes the taco. It gives you crunch, acid, and that cold contrast against the warm filling.

Toss the sweet potatoes with oil, lime, spices, and seasoning.

Roast until tender and caramelized around the edges.

Cook until tender and lightly charred.

Add black beans to the peppers and onions.
