Sweet Potatoes and Kale combine to make an ultra satisfying and healthy meal that is beyond delicious! Made in about 30 minutes, this is one of my favorite week day dinners. Leftovers are delicious the next day over a bed of quinoa or mixed with a can of black beans.
In a large bowl, toss sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, black pepper, 1 teaspoon cumin, coriander, paprika, smoked paprika, chile powder, and garlic powder. Toss to coat the sweet potatoes.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add sweet potatoes and cook covered, stirring every so often to prevent burning, until fork tender (about 10 - 12 minutes. If the skillet becomes to dry before the sweet potatoes are cooked, add a splash of water to the skillet to finish cooking the sweet potatoes and to prevent burning.
While the sweet potatoes are cooking, add cilantro, jalapeño, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon coriander, 1/4 teaspoon cumin, and 2 teaspoons lime juice into a food processor. Pulse until everything is finely chopped. Turn on food processor and slowly stream in olive oil until a smooth sauce is formed. Taste and add additional lime juice, if desired.
Once the sweet potatoes are cooked through and tender when stabbed with a fork, add the chopped kale, remaining liime juice, and the 1/4 teaspoon salt. Reduce heat to medium low. Cover and cook until kale wilts and becomes a bright green, stirring a few times.
Warm the tortillas either in the microwave by covering a stack with a damp paper towel and warming up for about 30 seconds until warm. Alternatively, you can warm them in a skillet on the stove.
Stuff each tortilla with a helping of the sweet potato and kale mixture, a drizzle of the Garlickly Cilantro Mojo sauce, a squeeze of lime if desired, and sprinkle on any additional toppings like red onion, goat cheese (or vegan cheese), or diced jalapenos.
STORE IT IN THE FRIDGE
These Sweet Potato and Kale Tacos will keep for 5 days in the fridge when stored separately from the toppings and tortillas. Leftovers are fabulous mixed with a can of black beans or served over a bed of quinoa for lunch the next day!
