Sweet Potato and Egg Tacos

Sweet potatoes have reappeared at the market!

The Recipe

PREPARATION

I bought a couple of small ones and baked them and cut them into small chunks, leaving on some of the peel.

I diced a small white onion and minced a clove of garlic and sautéed them in a cast iron skillet on low heat. At the same time, I beat a couple of eggs together in a small bowl.

Next, I added some sweet potato chunks to the garlic and onion and then added the beaten eggs and scrambled it all together on low heat. I emphasize the low heat and the slowness in scrambling – this makes the eggs turn out moist and tasty, not dry and tasteless.

Finally, I spooned the mixture into two steamed corn tortillas and topped it with minced cilantro and salsa. I like it for breakfast, lunch, or supper.
