Black Bean, Sweet Potato, and Kale Tacos

It's funny how I go through phases with my food. Some weeks, all I want is Indian food full of flavor and spice. I'm talking coconut curries and lentil soups. Other weeks, I find myself on a Mediterranean kick, where all I want is olives, cheese, bread, and vegetables braised in garlic and olive oil.  Oh, and I can't forget about those weeks where Asian cuisine is what I'm craving. I'm talking all over Asia here with pad Thai, vegetable sushi, pho, and bibimbap. And of course, there's my strong desire for Mexican food. Especially anything with lots and lots of guacamole on it. I eat that stuff by the bowlful. Yup, I'm all over the globe these days when it comes to food. And I'm loving it.

Of course, knowing me, you can be sure that I'm making most of these dishes at home, using super healthy and organic ingredients. I'm not eating your typical run-of-the-mill greasy pad Thai, nor am I stopping at the taco joint on the corner eating a chalupa. Nope, all of my meals are full of colorful vegetables, bursting with nutrients for me and by growing baby girl in my belly. They're the "healthified" versions of the traditional dishes. But they're not lacking in flavor, that's for sure. And these tacos are a testament to that. You're not gonna find GMO corn in these babies, nor are you going to feel guilty after downing five of them in one sitting. At least I didn't!
