  • 1/2 tsp Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • Juice of Half a Lime

For The Crema Sauce

  • 1/4 Cup Cashews, raw and unsalted
  • 1 tbsp Chili Sauce, I used Cholula

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425°.
  • In a large bowl add cubed sweet potatoes and all ingredients listed for sweet potatoes. Mix everything until well combined.
  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or spray. Bake in oven for 30-35 minutes. Potatoes are tender and soft when done.
  • In meantime, make your crema sauce by adding all ingredients for crema sauce in food blender, or blender. Blend well until smooth.
  • I warmed my corn tortillas up on a baking sheet in the oven on the bottom rack the last 5 minutes of the potatoes cooking time.

  • I also added my leftover limes from the lime juice for garnish!
