Instructions

Peel and dice sweet potatoes.

In a small skillet, melt coconut oil over medium -high heat. Then add cardamom and a dash of chili pepper. This is very spicy hot seasoning, so add more or less according to taste. Using a rubber spatula, mix seasonings into oil for 30 seconds. Then add diced sweet potatoes and coat with oil, stirring constantly for 30 seconds.

Immediately add water and let simmer for 5 minutes or until sweet potatoes are tender and water has cooked down. Then add drained and rinsed black beans and cook for another 2 minutes until black beans are warm.

Warm tortillas in microwave or skillet. Then top with 5-6 leaves of spinach, followed by sweet potato mixture and sour cream. Enjoy immediately.
