Citrus Pork Tacos With Caramelized Root Vegetables Food

ROOT VEGETABLE TACOS WITH PINEAPPLE SALSA

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 450 degrees F. Spread the garlic and all but 2 red onion wedges on a rimmed baking sheet (reserve the remaining onion wedges for the salsa). Spread the sweet potatoes and celery root on a separate rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle each pan with 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and season each with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Roast, flipping the vegetables and switching the pans halfway through, until the vegetables are caramelized, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, finely chop the reserved red onion wedges, the pineapple and serrano (remove the seeds for less heat); transfer to a medium bowl. Add half of the cilantro and the lime juice and season with salt and pepper.
• Squeeze the roasted garlic from the skins into a separate medium bowl; mash. Stir in the beans. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until warmed through, 2 minutes.
• Warm the tortillas as the label directs. Spread each tortilla with some of the beans and top with the roasted vegetables, pineapple salsa and the remaining cilantro.
