    I always like to offer a little surprise at holiday dinners and these were perfect as a Thanksgiving side dish. I had a little trouble getting the folded tacos to stay folded while making them so I used a second cookie sheet to weight them down while I made them and by the time I was done, they stayed in place. They're a little sweet so if it weren't Thanksgiving, I think I'd like to add something else to spice them up. I think they'd be great with some spicy black beans. I also roasted my sweet potatoes whole and peeled them after they cooled down a bit with good results.
