We love love love a Taco Tuesday in our house...however with the traditional taco comes the yummy corn tortilla that most of us are trying to avoid when trying to stay fit. I decided that on this particular "taco" night we could skip the tortilla and get a little creative. I have been following some of my food bloggers on IG and saw that they use sweet potatoes as the base to so many of their recipes!! This inspired me to give it a go... then I just layered my favorite toppings and dug in!! It was simple and delicious...the main theme of this blog!!!!
Shopping List
Two sweet potatoes-skinned and diced into medium chunks
one can of black beans
1/4 chopped yellow onion
one yellow bell pep
sliced tomatoes
chicken ( grilled, steamed, baked whatever...we grilled it!)
guacamole or avocado chunked
Monterrey Jack cheese
cumin, salt, pep
cilantro for garnish
Procedure
1. Begin by layering your diced potatoes on a greased baking dish. Season them with olive oil, SP and any other special seasoning. Pop in the oven at 400 for about 10-15 minutes..
meanwhile..
2. Grill your chicken!!!! We seasoned our chicken and threw it on the grill, then allowed it to cool before slicing it up.
3. Take your onion and bell pepper and start to saute' over medium high heat in some olive oil and salt and pepper.
4. warm the beans...season them with cumin SP and any other seasoning
now its time to layer!
5. First, place the desired amount of potato "hash" into your bowl, then layer them with some warm black beans, next add on your grilled onion and pepper, then add your chicken...
last get crazy with toppings!!! I only added cheese, Guac., sliced tomatoes, and cilantro..however you can go crazy! Corn would be a nice addition, and so would fresh jalepenos . ..the list is endless
Enjoy!!!!
