Smoky Sweet Potato and Black Bean Soft Tacos

I always like to keep a few cans of beans in the cupboard as they have to be one of the best things to have a round for last minute unplanned suppers. This is one such dish that I threw together with the few ingredients that I had to hand. It is great with a salad and it went well with my parsnip and apple slaw that I have also published today. To get the smoky taste I thought I would use some Spanish spicy smoked paprika but I am guessing that chipotle chilli would work just as well but is not easy to get hold of in the UK.
