Each Tuesday at dinner tables across Tacoma, Taco Tuesday is celebrated. A fun activity is to make your own tacos so you can make a healthier version. For a fresh take on the typical taco, try this recipe from Little Bits Of. Sweet potato toast is a fresh spin on tortillas. She suggests slicing the sweet potato really thin and cooking it so it gets evenly soft. The toasts can be topped with a ton of different ingredients, but taco fixin’s are our favorite! The recipe doesn’t take a ton of ingredients or skill, so it’s great for a quick weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
1 medium sweet potato
1 cup shredded chicken
1/4 cup salsa
1/4 cup black beans
1 avocado, pitted and chopped
Directions
To Make Sweet Potato Toast:
Cut the tips off the sweet potato and slice lengthwise into 1/4 inch slices. Add to the toaster like you would bread and toast on high 2-3 times through depending on the toaster. You just want to see small brown spots on the sweet potato.
Scoop shredded chicken onto 4-5 sweet potato toasts. Scoop salsa on top of each one, followed by the black beans and then avocado. Enjoy!
