A delicious vegetarian recipe: tacos with sweet potato and beans. Fast food with a twist. It's so delicious that you want to eat this everyday!
A delicious healthy recipe to start the week with. And ready in the blink of an eye. Certainly if you bake the sweet potato in the oven the night before. Then these tacos are ready to be served in a few minutes.
Final
table
Inspired by a cooking show on Netflix, called the Final table, I ended up with preparing these tacos. The Final Table is in fact a show in which 12 duos start and only 1 will be the winner (yes, that concept has of course been donebefore), but the great thing is that they are going to prepare specific recipes from a country. With the cooks own twist. And the first country (but you probably guessed it already) was Mexico. The 12 teams started with tacos. And they came up with a lot of variations, I was literally mouth watering.
There were very culinary creations, but also very simple ones. But they all sounded great (although the jury found that a few were disappointing if you actually ate them).
Taco with a
twist
So I just sat down and asked myself how I would make a Taco with a twist. For example if I would go on a vegetarian tour. And now it seemed like a good choice to use sweet potato as a base, combined with kidney beans. Nicely flavored with herbs and finally mixed with cherry tomatoes. And I understood from the series that a salsa (with pepper, that is very important) should always be a part of it.
To spice up the taco, I opted for creamy avocado, peppery radish, pepper and a red onion. Flavored with a hint of lime. I don't know if I would go to the next round in the actual show, but it was tasty. And it looked beautiful.
It's a good taste!
