Sweet Potato Foil Packet Tacos

I found this recipe off of Tasty Kitchen!! I am in love with it!! It is soooo good!!! I adapted it of course to suit our tastes. It is that kind of recipe. You can really make it your own!!! Here is my version...

Ingredients:

1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch-1 inch cubes

1 lb of ground chuck

1 small can of Rotel tomato sauce (you could definitely use regular)

1 packet of Taco Seasoning

2 cups of cheese  (I used about one cup of  cheddar and one cup of Montery Jack)

1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed

corn tortillas

Butter
Salt
Garnishes (salsa, sour cream, tomatoes etc.)
Aluminum Foil

Directions:
Preheat oven to 425ºF.

 Brown ground meat in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in taco seasoning, tomato sauce, and beans. Set aside.

To assemble packets, spray the foil with non-stick spray. Place about 1/2 cup of sweet potato cubes in the center of each piece. Top with a small piece of butter (about 1 teaspoon) and a pinch or two of salt. Then, top with about 1/3 cup of meat/bean mixture and a sprinkle of cheese. Fold the sides in, then bring the top and bottom ends of the foil together in the center and fold, sealing the packet.

Repeat with remaining ingredients, placing the packets on a rimmed cookie sheet. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are tender.

Once packets are finished cooking, carefully open and spoon the mixture over corn tortillas. Top with cheese and whatever garnishes you wish!!!

Sooooo good!!!!
