2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, maple syrup, minced chipotle peppers, cumin, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Spread the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.
Warm the Tortillas: While the sweet potatoes are roasting, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
Assemble the Tacos: Fill each tortilla with a generous scoop of the roasted sweet potato mixture. Top with sliced avocado, crumbled cheese, and fresh cilantro.
Serve: Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
