Cooking tips:
- To make the sweet potato filling, preheat the oven to 400°F. Toss the sweet potatoes with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned.
- To make the flavorful meat, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
- To assemble the tacos, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or on a griddle. Divide the sweet potato filling and the flavorful meat among the tortillas. Top with shredded cheese and chopped cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
