Vegetarian Mexican Tacos

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Vegetarian Mexican Tacos.

1. Step 1

   Start by warming a generous splash of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

   Once the oil is shimmering, toss in your chopped carrots and sauté them until they develop a lovely light brown color, which should take about five minutes.

   Next, introduce the chopped potato to the skillet, stirring occasionally as it cooks.

   If you’re using leeks and onion, now’s the time to add them in.

   Stir everything together and let it cook until the onion turns a beautiful golden brown, about five to ten minutes more.

   Now, it’s time to bring in the flavor! Add the shredded sweet potato, black beans, ground cumin, dried oregano, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to the skillet.

   Stir everything together and let it cook until the sweet potato is tender, which should take around ten minutes.

    To assemble your delicious tacos, return to the skillet and warm each tortilla over medium heat for about thirty seconds on each side until they’re nice and toasty.
