🌮 Grilled Sweet Potato Tacos with Spicy Mayo
Sweet potato is deliciously meaty and naturally sweet 🍠🔥 when you give it a good grilling. You’ll know it’s ready to flip when it starts to bead and sweat on top – just like steak 🥩😉.
Want more protein? 💪 Add some refried black beans 🫘 to make it more filling. You’ll find queso fresco (soft Mexican cheese 🧀) at specialty delis, but if it’s unavailable, use quark or simply add extra yoghurt 🥣 to serve.
