These scrumptious sweet potato tacos with corn and black beans will be your new family favorite! 

During “Saucy September,” I was grabbing a few different sauces to try from Trader Joe’s and also picked up a jar of their Corn & Chile Tomato-less Salsa. 

I had never tried it before and thought it would be a good alternative to salsa, guac and would be great with chips. 

I was wrong – sorta. 

It’s fine with chips…but it’s a touch too spicy…and needs to be mixed in with some milder ingredients. The jar says “with a touch of heat.” I don’t have sensitive taste buds and this is more than a touch of heat. 😉  

I thought it would be amazing mixed in with some air-fryed sweet potato cubes and I WAS RIGHT.

We are all obsessed with these. 

The sweet potatoes and sour cream drizzle are the perfect match for this salsa and it’s “touch of heat!” lol 

Check out the recipe, grab a jar or two and get these vegetarian tacos a try!
