Ingredients

1 can black beans, rinsed and drained (15 oz)

1/2 cup corn (canned or frozen)

1/4 cup diced red onion

1/4 cup diced red bell pepper

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

12 mini slider buns (preferably whole grain or gluten-free)

1 cup shredded lettuce

1/2 cup diced avocado

1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Cook the Sweet Potato: In a medium pot, cover the cubed sweet potato with water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.

    Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, mash the cooked sweet potato with a fork or potato masher. Stir in the black beans, corn, red onion, red bell pepper, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and chunky.

      Heat the Mixture: In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the sweet potato mixture. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until heated through and slightly crispy.

        Assemble the Sliders: Toast the mini slider buns lightly on a skillet or in a toaster. Spoon the sweet potato and black bean mixture onto the bottom half of each bun. Top with shredded lettuce, diced avocado, and chopped cilantro.

          Serve: Place the top half of the buns on each slider. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
