Instructions
- Set oven to 375º. Peel and chop up sweet potato into bite sized equal pieces. Add the potatoes to a large bowl with oil, liquid smoke and seasonings. Toss well to be sure the potatoes are all evenly coated. Line a cooking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Lay the potatoes down on it flat and evenly spread apart. Bake for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are softened and browned.

Next mix all your dressing ingredients (tahini, honey, water, cilantro, lime juice, salt) together in a high-speed blender or with an emersion blender. Once potatoes are done cooking, heat up beans if you'd like in the microwave for one minute.
- Top tortillas with black beans, seasoned cooked potatoes, greens, onions and any leftover cilantro. Drizzle sauce over tacos and enjoy
