Sweet Potato Tacos Recipe

If there's one thing that just really grinds my gears, it's opening up a recipe on Pinterest just to read a long ass blog post about the recipe. I'll try to make each of my posts short and sweet when including recipes! Most of the dishes I make are inspired by something. Whether it be someone, someplace, or just any random food, I seem to be craving at the moment.

My old college roommate, Taylor, inspired this dish. She was one of the most wild, intelligent, and genuine soul I had ever met. Taylor also loved to cook, so nothing was better than coming home from the bar after drinking two dollar doubles all night, and cooking up Buddha bowls. Taylor loved her sweet potatoes, and that's where this recipe comes in. If there is one thing that you ever need to know about me, it's that I LOVE tacos. Multiple taco recipes will be coming your way, but this right here is the first!
