¡Hola amigos! ¿Cómo estás? Though it has been a crazy busy week and weekend, I managed to cook a Mexican inspired dish. As a 99 percent plant-based muncher I love Mexican inspired dishes. They are usually quick and easy to make and deliver so much flavor. Just the thing you are looking for as a vegan.
Thank you so much @tioluis for this amazing theme.... your girlfriend and baby-to-come are so lucky to have you not only for your amazing cooking skills but for the lovely person you are. Furthermore, I want to thank our amazing host @woman-onthe-wing and all the sponsors for making this culinary challenge a huge success among the steemit foodie community, and beyond!
So here's my vegan take on a Mexican dish that hopefully will please the taste buds of a real Mexican!
Ingredients (serves 3)
6 wraps or tortillas
Salad greens of your choice
Roasted Sweet Potato and Black Beans
3 cups sweet potatoes, cubed
2 cups bell pepper. sliced
1.5 cup cooked black beans
1 tbsp olive or coconut oil
Herb mix
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp smoked paprika powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2-1 tsp chili powder (or to taste)
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp dried oregano
Sea salt and black pepper to taste
Avocado Cilantro Sauce
2 small avocados
1/2 cup spring onion, finely chopped
1-2 cloves of garlic
1/2-1 cup fresh cilantro
1 lime, juice only
Sea salt and black pepper to taste
Spicy Cashew Sour Cream
1/2-3/4 cup cashews, soaked for at least 1 hour overnight is best
Chili paste to taste
1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2-4 tbsp unsweetened coconut milk (water works too)
Sea salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Roasted Sweet Potato and Black Beans
- Preheat the oven to 400F or 200C.
- Add the bell pepper and sweet potatoes to a baking sheet. Sprinkle with herb mix and cooking oil. Toss well to coat and roast for 20 minutes.
- Add black beans, toss to combine and roast for another 10 minutes.
Avocado Cilantro Sauce
- While the veggies are roasting, add all ingredients to a blender and process until smooth. Set aside in the fridge.
Spicy Cashew Sour Cream
- Soak the cashews for at least 1 hour in water. Overnight is best. If you don't have time you can soak them for 30 minutes in boiling water too.
- Combine all the cashew sour cream ingredients in a blender and process until creamy. Set Aside in the fridge.
Assemble the tortillas
- Heat tortilla in the oven or dry pan.
- Spread avocado cilantro sauce on the tortilla. Top with lettuce, sweet potatoes, black bean mix and cashew sour cream.

Realized I havent checkout your food lately and I see you are up to it as usual! Ur photos are really nice and some variation of this meals seems to be good almost all the time. Though I particularly like the sweet potato as I have used it so much due to growing the best ones I ever had!
SteemON!
Hehe! Thank you so much for your comment. I know you like your sweet potatoes. We talked about them a while ago if I remember right. Does sweet potato ice cream rings a bell or am I confusing you with somebody else, think I have too many conversations running on steemit... love it though. Looking forward to growing them too once we move house. Have a beautiful day
Yes it is quite possible we have talked about Sweet Potatoes before as we have been growing them for many years and at some points me and @everlove have almost lived off of them for months on end!
We have made so many delicious dishes, one of my specialties is sweet potato spice pie!
It looks so delicious! I am a fan of the sweet potato 🍠, always i use it when i make a tagine, it comes melting, i noticed that you cook so much green vegetables that's mean that you love it, I like this tasty recipe and healthy too.
Thanks gorgeous! Ohh once I have my tajine I'll try it with sweet potatoes too. Must be so good. Thanks for the tip ;)

Oh my oh my oh my you got me when I saw those roasting vegetables, and now I simply HAVE to make this! I'm taking the bus to town tomorrow and have just added the necessary ingredients to my list! I can just imagine the sweetness of the potato, the soft bite of the black beans, the creaminess of the avocado sauce and subtleness of cashew cream... wonderful...heavenly! As always your photos are excellent and really show how delicious your food is... without a doubt no Mexican could turn his nose up if offered this gorgeous meal! Good luck Amy :-)
Aww, thanks @woman-onthe-wing! Your comments always make me quiet. I'm sure you won't regret adding this recipe to your grocery list. We just loved it! Have a beautiful weekend and let me know how they turned out!
Congratulations on 2nd place @amy-goodrich! Fantastic dish (that I'm still drooling over all these hours later but thankfully it's nearly my dinner time) and definitely a well-deserved prize. Hooray!
Ohh wow! What an honor to make it as a second. the pressure was on since cooking Mexican food for a Mexican... well gets the heat on, right! This just made my weekend even better. Hooray indeed!
Congrats on 2nd Place in the challenge. Sorry I missed it when you post it. Life has been just super busy these past several days - Super awesome food post.
Thanks and don't mention it! I'm already very honored with all the support you have and are giving me. Life is pretty busy on my side of the world too. So much to do before our Europe trip and that's in less than two weeks....
