I first had Collard Greens and Sweet Potato Tacos at a food truck in Austin, Texas. I was immediately hooked on the combination of flavors and textures. The collard greens were tender and flavorful, the sweet potato was sweet and starchy, and the onion and garlic added a nice bit of spice. The black beans and corn added a bit of protein and sweetness, and the cilantro added a bit of freshness. The green chile sour cream was the perfect finishing touch, adding a bit of spice and creaminess. I knew I had to recreate this recipe at home. After a few tries, I finally perfected my own version of Collard Greens and Sweet Potato Tacos. My recipe is very similar to the one I had at the food truck, but I've made a few small changes to suit my own tastes. I use a bit less oil, and I add a bit more garlic and cilantro. I also use canned black beans and corn for convenience. My Collard Greens and Sweet Potato Tacos are the perfect meal for a cold night. They're hearty and filling, but they're also healthy and flavorful. They're also easy to make and can be on the table in under 30 minutes.
