Citrusy Summer Taco

So this is one of those recipes that looks kinda intimidating at first glance, & then you make it & see it’s so simple. I’m trying to get back to eating mostly whole foods instead of processed foods, which is why this recipe came to be. It’s a citrusy taco, made with a sweet potato tortilla, & packed with tons of summer produce! It’s the perfect weeknight summer meal!
