Sweet and sour tortilla night with roasted sweet potatoes and pickled red onions

Tortilla night is always a winner and you can stuff those goodies with so many different veggies. A favorite here at home is oven roasted sweet potatoes, avocado cream with pickles and pickled red onions. Gives the perfect balance between sweet and sour.

Tip: I prefer to make the pickled red onions the night before, so they get the perfect taste and consistency.

• 1 cup water
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 cup rice vinegar
