for the sweet potatoes

- 1 tsp cumin seed
- 1/2 tsp dried chilli flakes
- some olive oil
- pinch of salt and pepper
for the kale
- big squeeze fresh lime juice
- splash of olive oil

- pinch of cumin powder
- dash chili powder
- dash of sea salt
- 2 medium leaves of kale, washed and dried, stems removed and roughly chopped into bite-sized pieces (or just the big bag of pre-chopped pieces)
for the black beans
- 1 garlic clove, minced or pressed
- 1/2 cup cooked or canned black beans, rinsed and drained
Serve on corn or flour tortillas, Cheese is optional but not necessary.
First of all, put all ingredients for sweet potatoes into the baking dish, and roast them for 20-30 minutes at 400F.
Meanwhile, combine the lime juice, olive oil, siracha, cumin, chili powder, sea salt, and kale. Toss to mix well and set the bowl aside to marinate. All seasoning is to taste, so keep tasting and adjusting!
Warm the beans and minced garlic with a couple of tablespoons of water. You can do this in your smallest sauce pan on the stove over medium-low heat (sauté the garlic in a drizzle of olive oil before adding the beans). Add little splashes of water as necessary. Use a fork to mash up the beans a little and add salt to taste, if necessary.
Once everything's done, assemble your tacos and enjoy!
