Before it’s time to pack away our swimsuits and pull out our sweaters, be sure to cook up one last summer storm and enjoy every last morsel!

 

Filling:

1 pound sweet potatoes

2 teaspoons dried chipotle chile powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon oil (grapeseed or olive oil)

1/2 jicama, sliced into thin strips

1/2 cup cashews, soaked, drained and dried

1 teaspoon maple syrup

1/2 teaspoon dried chipotle chile powder

4-6 tortillas

Shredded vegan mozzarella cheese (optional)

 

Directions: 

Prepare the sweet potatoes: Cut the sweet potatoes into a thick julienne – 1/2″ by 1/2″ sticks. Combine the spices, then toss the sweet potatoes in the oil and spice mixture. Spread the sweet potatoes onto a baking sheet and roast at 400 F for 45 minutes, tossing after 25 minutes.

While the sweet potatoes are roasting, puree the cashews in a food processor. Add water to thin into a creamlike consistency. Add maple syrup and chipotle powder to taste.

Assembly: Warm the tortillas on the grill. Plate the tortillas and add cashew cream, roasted sweet potatoes, jicama, and cheese.
