Sweet Potato Tacos with Red Cabbage Apple Slaw
All this spring weather has been making me crave some homemade tacos. Ever since I went to this vegan restaurant that served these amazing jackfruit tacos, I’ve been on a taco craze, trying to experiment with different and new taco recipes. I recently received the new Love and Lemons Cookbook in the mail and I’m obsessed with it. I love the beautiful pictures and recipes in it! Not to mention, it has a lot of great vegetarian taco recipes too. These sweet potato tacos with red cabbage apple slaw was inspired by this cookbook. Her original recipe uses an apple radish slaw but I made a red cabbage apple slaw instead. Let me just say this red cabbage apple slaw is so dang good. It is literally my new favorite snack. Yup, I just eat a bowl of it plain. I love apple cider vinegar, so pairing it with red cabbage and apples makes for the perfect and healthy snack. I can eat it all day everyday. Okay, now onto these tacos. Who knew that roasted sweet potatoes and red cabbage apple slaw could taste so delicious together?! What a great combo. You get sweet, tangy, soft, crunchy all in one bite. I love the organic purple corn tortillas I get from Sprouts, but you can really pair it with whatever kind of tortilla you like. These tacos are so easy to make, healthy, and vegan! They really are one of my favorites, so I highly recommend you make these!
