Notes
Air fry sweet potatoes for a crispier texture—cook at 400°F (200°C) for 15–18 minutes, shaking halfway.To make vegan, use plant-based toppings like vegan sour cream or cashew crema.Prep toppings and sweet potatoes ahead for quick assembly during busy weeknights.Don’t overfill tortillas to avoid breakage—warm tortillas help them stay flexible.
