  • 2 large sweet potatoes or yams, diced in 1" cubes 
  • ¼ cup vegetable broth 
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice

  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander 
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced 
  • 1-2 teaspoons sea salt, or to taste

  2. Cook on high for about 3 hours, or until sweet potatoes are softened to your liking. Season the filling to taste with salt. 
  3. Assemble the tacos: Put a generous amount of filling inside a warmed tortilla. Top with avocado, salsa, and a squeeze of lime juice.
