I love sweet potatoes but get a little tired of the classic super-sweet potato recipes around the holidays. This is a yummy recipe to spice them up, and of course it involves my favorite thing to eat --- TACOS!
This makes enough for two people- meaning I have 2 tacos and Josh has 5.
2 large sweet potatoes (or yams)
1 tbs dijon (adjust to taste)
2 tbs maple syrup
paprika to taste
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel and chop potatoes and boil until just tender. Strain and place potatoes in small 8x8 or similar baking dish. In a small bowl, mix dijon, maple syrup and paprika - adding dashes of paprika to taste. Pour glaze over potatoes in baking dish and stir gently until well coated- making more glaze if needed. Bake for 10 or so minutes, until they are bubbling and the glaze has thickened a bit.
Remove from oven and serve in tacos. I like to use corn tortillas (warmed in oven) with black beans (cook black beans with cumin for spice). Favorite Toppings: cilantro, avocado, red onion, spinach. If you want to go naked (no taco wrap) serve on a bed of spinach with toppings.
For kids, skip the paprika (and cumin) and mash potatoes.
Enjoy!!
