Make

  1. Heat oven to 400F degrees (or 204C).
  2. Spread sweet potato mixture out onto a foil or parchment-lined sheet pan. You might want to do it over two sheet pans if the ingredients feel too crowded. Roast for 12 to 14 minutes, until sweet potatoes are tender and tomatoes have exploded with juices.
  3. Warm tortillas according to package instructions.
  4. Toss arugula and sunflower seeds with the other half of the Latin-spiced vinaigrette.
  5. Slice limes into wedges.
  6. Let everyone plate their own tacos - arugula can be used to fill tacos and also eaten on the side. Enjoy with a squeeze of lime!
