Sweet Potato and Tilapia Tacos

I was inspired by a Blog from Lemons and Basil to make this dish. http://lemonsandbasil.com/bbq-tilapia-and-sweet-potato-tacos/. Please check out her blog. Her photos are BEAUTIFUL and her food simply wonderful and healthy. This is almost completely cobbled together from leftovers but has grown to be one of our favorites.
