Vegan Sweet Potato Tacos







     In the world of plant based diets, I have created a few new flavor combinations that would have never occurred to me before.  And I must say that I love love love all these new experiences.  Case in point, for the first time my taste buds were excited by the Salsa Sweet Potato combo...."who woulda thunk it"!?  It was simply divine!  These turned out so good I had the leftovers all week, and looked forward to lunch every day til they were gone.  So, get outside your palate comfort zone and see what you might be missing!  :)
