I adapted this recipe from
Skinny Taste (which originally had little or nothing to do with taco flavoring or conception of any kind, but still super good!). A couple weekends ago my sister, husband, and I went to a friend's for a small get together. Kira and I enjoy bringing home made appetizers or baked goods because it gives us the opportunity to make something healthy and unique. I've always been a fan of sweet potatoes and their dominating flavor, which needs little added to it. I'm all for keeping things simple, because that will usually equal better for you! Everyone loved the finished product (even my mother), though the Husband made one suggestion: add sour cream and cheese...no Rick, this is a HEALTHY taco bite ;>
