INSTRUCTIONS

1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil, onions, garlic, sweet potatoes, paprika, cumin, salt, pepper, and toss to coat. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sweet potatoes are just softened and cooked through.

2. While potatoes are cooking, make the Lime Crema. Whisk together yogurt, lime juice and zest from ½ lime and salt. Thin with water if needed. 

3. Once potatoes are softened, mix in black beans. Cover and cook again for 5-15 minutes (at altitude I cook beans longer).

4. Warm tortillas and serve, topping each street taco with Cheese, Cilantro, and Lima Crema, Avocados and Tomatoes.
