As you may know, I have a plethora of sweet potatoes in my pantry right now. I also have a large stock of frozen black beans in the freezer. The two go well together, as they did in our dinner tonight. I was originally inspired by these <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sweetpeasandpumpkins.com\/2010\/12\/magical-snow-and-sweet-potato.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sweet potato enchiladas<\/a> but they just weren&#8217;t quite what I was in the mood for, so I did my own thing. Here&#8217;s who to do it my way:<\/p>\n<p>First, dice up a sweet potato (skin on please!), season it with curry powder and red pepper, and throw it in the oven to roast at 425 degrees for 20-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. I used about 3\/4 tsp curry powder and 1\/4 tsp red pepper.<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theleangreenbean.com\/curried-sweet-potato-black-bean-tacos\/dsc_0066\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3144\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3144 size-full\" style=\"border: 2px solid black;\" title=\"DSC_0066\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theleangreenbean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/DSC_0066.jpg\" alt=\"These Curried Sweet Potato &amp; Black Bean Tacos make a hearty meatless meal any taco lover will adore!\" width=\"428\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theleangreenbean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/DSC_0066.jpg 428w, https:\/\/www.theleangreenbean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/DSC_0066-133x200.jpg 133w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 428px) 100vw, 428px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theleangreenbean.com\/curried-sweet-potato-black-bean-tacos\/dsc_0069\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3145\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3145 size-full\" style=\"border: 2px solid black;\" title=\"DSC_0069\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theleangreenbean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/DSC_0069.jpg\" alt=\"These Curried Sweet Potato &amp; Black Bean Tacos make a hearty meatless meal any taco lover will adore!\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theleangreenbean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/DSC_0069.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.theleangreenbean.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/DSC_0069-250x167.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Meanwhile, add a little olive oil to a pan and saute 1\/4 c onion.
