Dave's Mexican Veggie Tacos

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon oil, or as needed
  • 4 carrots, chopped
  • 1 potato, chopped
  • 2 leeks, chopped (Optional)
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 sweet potato, shredded
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 tablespoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Make filling: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir carrots in hot oil until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add potato; cook and stir until lightly browned and mostly tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Add leeks and onion; cook and stir until onion is lightly browned, 5 to 10 minutes.
  2. Mix in sweet potato, beans, cumin, oregano, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper; cook and stir until sweet potato is tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer sweet potato mixture to a bowl, scraping the skillet clean with a rubber spatula.
  3. Assemble tacos: Heat each tortilla in the same skillet over medium heat until warmed, about 30 seconds per side. Spread mashed avocado onto each warmed tortilla; top with sweet potato mixture, queso fresco, salsa, cilantro, and lime juice.
