Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cauliflower Walnut Taco Meat
  2. Make the Spicy Black Beans and Sweet Potatoes: Place the diced sweet potatoes in a steamer basket and steam for 15-20 minutes, until fork tender. Alternatively, if you do not have a steamer, boil until fork tender and drain.

  4. Make the Avocado Tomato Salsa: Add the diced avocados, tomatoes, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, salt, and pepper to a bowl and stir to combine. 
  5. Prepare any other toppings you might be using.
