📖 Instructions

1. First, peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into small, even-sized cubes. Aim for around 1/2-inch pieces – this helps them cook evenly. Don't worry if they aren't perfect; rustic is good!
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the cubed sweet potatoes and cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and brown slightly. You want them tender but not mushy.
3. Add the chopped kale to the skillet. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the kale wilts and becomes tender. Sometimes I add a splash of water to help steam the kale if it's taking too long.
4. Season the sweet potato and kale mixture with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine all the flavors. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. A little extra cumin can really make this pop!
5. While the sweet potato and kale are cooking, prepare the chipotle sauce. In a blender or food processor, combine the canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, Greek yogurt (or sour cream), lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. If it's too thick, add a tablespoon of water to thin it out.
6. Warm the taco shells or tortillas according to package instructions. You can do this in the oven, in a dry skillet, or even in the microwave. I prefer a quick toast in a skillet for that slightly charred flavor.
7. Fill each taco shell or tortilla with the sweet potato and kale mixture. Don't overfill them, or they'll be hard to handle. Aim for a generous but manageable amount.
8. Drizzle the chipotle sauce over the filling. If you like, top with crumbled feta cheese or cotija cheese, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice. These toppings add a nice burst of freshness and flavor. If you wanna spice things up, add some red pepper flakes.
9. Serve the tacos immediately and enjoy! These are great on their own or with a side of black beans or a simple salad. Sharing is optional, but highly encouraged. I made a batch last week and I totally forgot to add any salt! Don't be like me! Check your seasoning.
