Sweet Potato and Goat Cheese Tacos - Meatballs&Milkshakes

These are a new go-to recipe for Meatless Monday. Sweet potatoes are one of the healthiest foods out there, and when you combine it with delicious goat cheese and some other flavorings, they make great tacos. Have these with your favorite salsa (homemade or store-bought), and they are great all year round.

Sweet Potato and Goat Cheese Tacos

1 sweet potato, medium diced

1 cup corn kernels, fresh or frozen

1 tablespoon cumin

1 teaspoon coriander

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon chili powder (your favorite kind)

1 cup kale, chopped finely

4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled

6-8 corn tortillas

Saute the sweet potato in a couple tablespoons olive oil for 5-8 minutes (seasoned with salt and pepper), until they start to soften and a knife goes in fairly easily. Add the spices and the corn, and stir to combine. Add the kale and allow to wilt, about 2 minutes.

Meanwhile, warm the tortillas either in a saute pan for about 30 seconds on each side or in the microwave between two damp paper towels. Serve with the filling, goat cheese to sprinkle on top, and a lime wedge or two. Optional are some salsa (I like green tomatillo salsa, personally), shredded cabbage, guacamole, or any other favorite toppings.
