I’ve been on a search for recipes that I can feed my husband and me as well as my toothless one-year-old son Cooper.
 
 
 
Because Cooper loves sweet potatoes, and because all of the ingredients inside this “taco” are soft, I decided to give it a try even though it seemed a little bit of a random mix of things. Oh my goodness I was in for a shock. It was SOOO good!! 
 
 
 
It was pretty simple to make and was bursting with flavor! And did I mention full of healthy vegetables?? Personally I think anything with honey, cilantro, and lime is going to be good but add in the sweet potatoes (weird I know) and it is magic in your mouth!
