Naan tacos with sweet potato, fresh corn salsa and guacamole

This may have have been one of my favourite meals of the summer. I was craving naan bread and tacos on the same day so I thought I would mix the 2 together. I made the naan bread using this recipe from the chubby vegetarian but adapted the recipe using the modifications indicated below.

Using a beautiful yellow heirloom tomato I made a delicious fresh salsa with corn. A giant avocado was used to make a simple guacamole. Sweet potato was the major substance of the taco which was finished by topping with a dash of goat cheese and a splash of lime juice.
