These alternative tacos are amazing. The filling is roasted sweet potatoes, black beans, poblano, and garlic tossed with rendered chorizo. It goes in a cheesy griddled corn tortilla and is topped with charred corn salsa and avocado ranch dressing to cool it down.

I got the idea from The Chef Show on Netflix. They went to Border Grill in Vegas, and one of the owners' prepared dishes was a sweet potato and black bean taco. I was instantly sold on the idea and wrote down my spin on it. The best part is the cheese crust on the inside of the taco shell. Pure genius. 

The taco shells are unique, having a cheese crust griddled onto them.

These tacos are fantastic! The roasted sweet potatoes tossed in the chorizo fat are glorious on their own. It's hard to quit "taste testing" them while cooking. The whole thing together is hearty and delicious. 

Enjoy! As always, see below the recipe for more tips and pics.
