Instructions
Make the Chipotle Roasted Sweet Potatoes
  1. Preheat oven to 400º. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Toss sweet potatoes with olive oil, chipotle chili powder and salt to coat. Arrange in an even layer on baking sheet. Bake until tender and lightly crispy on the outsides, about 25 minutes, tossing halfway through.
Make the Avocado Lime Crema
  1. While sweet potatoes roast, place all ingredients in blender or food processor bowl and blend until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down sides of bowl or pitcher as needed.
Make the Refried Black Beans
  1. Heat oil in medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté 1 minute more. Add beans, lime juice, cumin, salt and pepper. Sauté 2 minutes more. Remove from heat.
  2. Mash beans lightly with a potato masher. Add a couple of tablespoons of water if the mixture becomes too dry, and mix well.
Make the Tostadas
  1. Brush both sides of tortillas lightly with olive oil and place on baking sheet. Sprinkle lightly with salt.
  2. When your sweet potatoes have about 10 minutes of cook time left, place baking sheet into oven. Cook until tortillas are slightly darkened and crispy, about 10 minutes.
  3. Transfer tortillas to plates and spread each with refried black beans. Top with lettuce, sweet potatoes and crema.
