1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
2 teaspoons coconut sugar (or brown sugar)

Instructions

Avocado Tomatillo Salsa Verde

In a blender or food processor, blend all salsa verde ingredients until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Jerk Sweet Potato Steak Tacos

In a small bowl, combine all spices. Divide spice mix in half and toss one half with sweet potatoes and 1 tablespoon olive oil on a baking sheet.
Arrange sweet potatoes in a single layer on baking sheet. Roast sweet potatoes at 400F 15-20 minutes or until tender and golden. Keep warm and set aside.
Rub remaining spice mixture over steak. In a cast iron skillet, melt butter and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmery. Sear steak 1-1/2 to 2 minutes on each side until golden brown and steak reaches desired doneness. Remove steak from skillet, cover loosely with tin foil, and let rest 8-10 minutes.
Thinly slice steak against the grain into strips and toss with warm sweet potato cubes. Spoon sweet potato steak mixture into tortillas and top with salsa verde, additional sliced avocado, and cilantro. Serve immediately and enjoy!
