Sweet Potatoes & Mushrooms Tacos
Ingredients
For the Taco Shells
- 1/4 cup polenta flour
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour (plus more for dusting)
- 1/4 cup water
For the Filling
- 2 Sweet Potatoes (unpeeled)
- 300 g Mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 ripe Avocado (stoned, peeled and sliced)
- 1/2 lime
- 1 garlic clove (minced)
- 1 cup flat-leaf parsley (chopped)
- 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon
- black pepper (freshly ground)
- sea salt
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Line a baking sheet with foil.
-
Cube the sweet potatoes into 1-cm-thick pieces. Toss them with cinnamon on the foil-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 25 minutes or until tender.
-
Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, the garlic clove and the mushrooms in a medium-size skillet. Season salt and black pepper and cook ove medium-high heat for about 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are golden. Stir in the parsley and remove from the heat.
-
In a small bowl stir flour and water with a spoon, then knead until you get a smooth, non-sticky dough (about 2 minutes). Divide it into 6 pieces. Flour your work surface and roll the dough into a 15-cm-diameter circle.
-
Heat a non-stick pan, then cook each Taco Shell over high heat, 1 minute each side. Wrap the Shells in a clean dish towel to keep them warm.
-
Squeeze the juice from the lime onto the avocado slices. Assemble the tacos by filling each shell with avocado’s slices, sweet potatoes and mushrooms.
