Ingredients Needed

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 large whole wheat tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Sour cream or salsa for serving (optional)

Cooking Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.

Meanwhile, warm the black beans in a small saucepan over low heat. Once the sweet potatoes are ready, assemble the burritos by placing a portion of roasted sweet potatoes and black beans onto each tortilla. Add shredded cheese if desired.

Roll up the tortillas tightly, folding in the sides as you go. You can heat the assembled burritos in a skillet for 2-3 minutes per side to give them a crispy exterior or serve them immediately.
