Sweet Potato Tacos are a delicious twist on traditional tacos, making them an irresistible gluten-free dinner option. These tacos combine crispy, cheesy sweet potato shells with fresh, vibrant fillings, providing the perfect balance of flavors and textures. Whether you’re looking for a quick dinner or a healthy snack, these tacos are sure to become a favorite!
Ingredients:
- Sweet potato, thinly sliced
- Shredded mozzarella cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Olive oil
Filling:
- Arugula
- Tomato
- Burrata cheese
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) with heat from above and below.
- Peel and slice the sweet potato very thinly. This step is crucial because thicker slices won’t bend easily into taco shells.
- Place small piles of shredded mozzarella cheese onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Top each cheese pile with the thin sweet potato slices, seasoning with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.
- Bake the sweet potato tacos in the preheated oven for approximately 10 minutes. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
- Once baked, remove the tray from the oven and let the tacos cool slightly before carefully folding them to form taco shells.
- Fill each shell with fresh arugula, sliced tomato, and creamy burrata cheese.
Extra Tips for Success:
- Ensure your sweet potato slices are thin for optimal bending without breaking.
- Allow the tacos to rest briefly after baking to prevent cracking when folding.
- Customize fillings according to your taste—avocado, chicken, or beans are excellent additions!
