ANCHO, PECAN, SWEET POTATO TACOS with SWEET CHILI SNACK JACK



It's #TacoTuesday and we're craving tacos! Let's be real though--this is Texas. Everyday is taco day. To be honest, we had no clue it was even Tuesday!


These tacos are super simple and quick to make! We usually love our spices and go wild with herbs, but the Sweet Chili Snack Jack is so tasty that the only spice we added to this recipe was ground ancho chile pepper! You're not going to believe how steak-like the jerky gets when you prepare it like this. Try it and let us know what you think!

  • olive oil

  • 1/2 yellow onion, diced

  • 3 small sweet peppers from Johnson's Backyard Garden, diced

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ancho chile powder

  • sea salt, to taste

  • 3/4 cup water

  • 1 small bag of Sweet Chili Snack Jack

  • Garnish: sliced avocado and chopped cilantro (optional)

Instructions

  2. Cook onion and sweet peppers until onions are clear and soft, then add sweet potato.

  3. Cook sweet potato until just about done.

  4. Add pecans, ancho chile powder, and sea salt. Cook for 2 minutes.

  8. Squeeze a lime wedge over your tacos and enjoy!

So this is calling for one small snack sized bag and 3/4 cup water? That’s not too much water? Does this serve 2?
