Preparation
Roast the sweet potatoes
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Peel and medium-dice the sweet potatoes.
- On a lined sheet pan, toss with a generous drizzle of oil, ⅔ of the spices and S&P.
- Roast, stirring halfway, 20 to 24 min., until golden brown and tender.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, zest and juice the lime.
- Roughly chop the cilantro leaves and stems.
- In a large bowl, make the slaw by combining the cabbage, ¾ of the lime juice, ½ the cilantro, 2 tbsp oil and S&P.
- In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, lime zest, remaining lime juice, ½ the remaining spices and S&P.
Toast the pepitas
- In a medium pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium.
- Add the pepitas and toast, stirring often, 2 to 3 min., until golden brown (be careful, the pepitas may pop as they toast); season with the remaining spices and S&P.
- Transfer to a bowl.
Warm the tortillas
- Stack and tightly wrap the tortillas in aluminum foil.
- Warm directly on an oven rack, 6 to 8 min., until heated through.
Plate your dish
