While the sweet potatoes roast, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add the onions and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and saute until soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.
Add the garlic and jalapeno, and saute 2 minutes more.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are soft and seasoned, about 10 to 15 minutes.
Taste and add salt as needed.
Briefly heat the tortillas one or two at a time in a dry skillet until warm.
Transfer to a plate and cover with a towel to keep warm.
