VEGAN CILANTRO-LIME, SWEET POTATO, AND BLACK BEAN TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Cut sweet potatoes into 25 to 40 smaller "French fry"-shaped pieces.
• Place sweet potato pieces in a bowl. Coat with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix until sweet potatoes are evenly coated; transfer to a large baking sheet.
• Place pumpkin seeds into the same bowl. Add 1/4 tablespoon olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Spread pumpkin seeds onto a small baking sheet.
• Place sweet potatoes and pumpkin seeds in the preheated oven. Bake pumpkin seeds for 2 minutes; remove and let cool. Bake potatoes, flipping halfway through, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add black beans, cumin, chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, a small squeeze of lime juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine. Cook until heated through, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Combine vegan sour cream, remaining lime juice, 2 tablespoons cilantro, regular paprika, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and salt to taste. Whisk until sour cream flavor is mostly gone and lime-cilantro taste is dominant but not overpowering.
• Warm tortillas in pairs in the microwave, 15 to 20 seconds.
• Place 2 spoonfuls of beans onto each pair of warmed tortillas. Add 4 sweet potato pieces, a spoonful or two of sour cream mixture, some pumpkin seeds, and some cilantro.

VEGAN POTATO TACOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place potatoes in a bowl; drizzle 1 tablespoon oil on top, add garlic powder, and mix to coat. Lay out potatoes on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 30 minutes.
• Heat the remaining oil in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add red bell pepper, onion, corn, jalapeno, salt, and black pepper; cook and stir until vegetables are slightly soft, about 10 minutes.
• Heat a griddle over medium heat. Cook tortillas, flipping halfway, until evenly warmed, 2 to 3 minutes. Divide tortillas among serving plates; fill with the baked potatoes and sauteed corn mixture. Top tacos with green onions and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.

VEGAN POTATO SOY CHORIZO TACOS

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Cook, covered, until potatoes are easily pierced with a knife, about 30 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup cooking water.
• Transfer boiled potatoes to a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Mash with a potato masher, adding reserved cooking water to reach desired consistency.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet. Cook soy chorizo for 5 minutes. Add mashed potatoes and mix well.
• Heat tortillas on a hot griddle over medium heat to soften them. Fill them with equal amounts of potato-chorizo mixture. Fold them in half and brush the outside of the tortillas with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Place tacos on the hot griddle and cook, turning once, until crisp, 3 to 5 minutes.
