Ingredients:
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 lime, juiced
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Salsa, for serving
- Optional: shredded cheese, sour cream, and hot sauce
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the sweet potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Spread them out on the baking sheet in an even layer.
- Roast the sweet potatoes for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and lightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.
- Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the roasted sweet potatoes, black beans, corn, chopped cilantro, and lime juice. Mix gently to incorporate.
- Assemble the burritos: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Add a generous scoop of the sweet potato and bean mixture down the center. Top with slices of avocado, and if desired, sprinkle with cheese or add a dollop of sour cream.
- Fold the burrito by folding the sides inward and rolling from the bottom up to enclose the filling.
- Warm the burritos: Optionally, place the assembled burritos in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side to crisp the tortilla.
- Serve with your favorite salsa and a splash of hot sauce if you like an extra kick.
