Recipe: Sweet Potato and Black Bean Tacos
Tacos! Yes, these sweet potato and black bean tacos are inspired by Border Grill and their segment on The Chef Show which premiered a while ago on Netflix.

After being inspired by the simplicity of these tacos on The Chef Show I decided to share my version of the recipe. Okay, let’s get…

Since, as I’m sure you can relate, it’s so frustrating when I’m hungry, in a city I don’t know, and I can’t find food.…

How many people can fit in one of those things?! Since there aren’t too many houses on our block we…
