• 1 tsp. smoked paprika
• ½ tsp. chilli powder

• 10 cherry tomatoes (finely chopped)
• ½ red onion (finely chopped)

Method

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C/400°F.
2. Add the sweet potato cubes to a large baking dish and coat with coconut oil, cumin, paprika, chilli powder, and season well.
3. Bake your sweet potatoes for 25 minutes, until soft.
4. Meanwhile, mix together your salsa ingredients and chilli-lime soured cream ingredients in separate bowls and set aside. Prepare the rest of your toppings and garnishes.
5. Once the sweet potatoes are baked, remove from oven.
6. Prepare your taco shells on a baking tray, add a layer of sweet potato and then sprinkle with feta. Bake for around 5 minutes, until feta is soft.
