Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut 2 medium sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes and toss them in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of cumin, and a pinch of salt.
Spread the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, rinse and drain 1 can (15 ounces) of black beans and place them in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Add 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder, and a pinch of salt to the beans, stirring occasionally until heated through, about 5 minutes.
For the avocado lime crema, combine 1 ripe avocado, the juice of 1 lime, 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt, and a pinch of salt in a blender.
Blend until smooth and creamy, adjusting the lime juice to taste. Once the sweet potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
To assemble the tacos, warm 8 small corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side.
Layer the roasted sweet potatoes and black beans onto each tortilla. Drizzle the avocado lime crema over the top and garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious, budget-friendly tacos!
