Ingredients

  • 1 sweet potato, cut into a small dice
  • * 1 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
  • * 1 cup shredded purple cabbage

  • * 1 pound organic ground beef (I used 85/15)

  • * 2 tsp chili powder, plus a dusting for the sweet potatoes
  • * salt and pepper to taste
  • * 1/2 cup chopped white onion
  • * 12 corn tortillas
  • * sliced avocado, for garnish
  • * various hot sauces or salsas

Directions

  1. eat oven to 400. Toss the diced sweet potatoes with the oil, and a dusting of chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Roast for 25 minutes, or until tender.

  2. Toss the cabbage with half the cilantro and lime juice.

  3. Bring a sauté pan to a medium high heat. Add the beef and cook until browned all over. Season with salt, pepper, cumin and chili powder. Taste and add more salt if needed.

  4. Toast or grill the tortillas to your liking. Just get ’em a little warm. And toasty. And corny.

  5. Serve tacos with beef, onions, cilantro, cabbage, sweet potatoes, avocado and sauces of your choice! And more lime wedges. Always more lime wedges.
