Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes

250g chorizo sausage, casings removed and crumbled

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp smoked paprika

½ tsp ground cumin

¼ tsp cayenne pepper (adjust according to spice preference)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

6 small corn or flour tortillas

1 ripe avocado, sliced

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). On a baking sheet, toss the diced sweet potatoes with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated. Spread them out in a single layer. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through, until they are golden brown and tender.

    Cook the Chorizo: While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the crumbled chorizo, and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it’s nicely browned and begins to crisp up. If there is excess fat in the skillet, drain it—unless you prefer the extra richness.

      Sauté Onions and Garlic: To the skillet with the chorizo, add the finely chopped onion. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent and soft. Add the minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and cayenne pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the spices are fragrant and the garlic is lightly golden.

        Combine Ingredients: Once the sweet potatoes are finished roasting, add them to the skillet with the chorizo mixture. Gently stir to combine, letting them warm together for an extra minute. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed.

          Warm the Tortillas: In a separate dry skillet, place the tortillas over medium heat. Warm them for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are soft and pliable. You can also wrap them in foil and warm them in the oven if you prefer.

            Assemble the Tacos: For each tortilla, place a generous scoop of the sweet potato and chorizo mixture in the center. Top with fresh avocado slices, a sprinkle of chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice for extra brightness.

              Serve: Enjoy your Spicy Sweet Potato Chorizo Tacos warm, and offer extra lime wedges on the side for an additional burst of flavor!
