Instructions


In a large skillet place olive oil, onions, and sweet potatoes.

Cover skillet and cook over medium heat for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Add kale and any other veggies and stir. 


Add black beans (drain liquid into sink & rinse),  garlic, salt and pepper. Add kale and any other veggies and stir. Continue cooking over medium heat for 7-8 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are cooked through.

When done heat soft corn tortillas in a skillet on a low heat setting so they are soft and heated up a bit. 

For serving, fill each tortilla with the black beans & sweet potato mix.  

Top with any of the following: avocado, shredded carrots, diced lettuce, Mexican cheese mix or fresh parsley or cilantro.  Enjoy!

Notes:

Add some soy chorizo for an extra punch of flavor!
