  5. Once the sweet potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
  6. Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until they are soft and pliable.
  7. Assemble the tacos by placing a generous scoop of roasted sweet potatoes and black beans on each tortilla.
  8. Top with sliced avocado and crumbled feta or cotija cheese. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
  9. Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos.
