Ingredients
- 2 (about 1.25 lb) medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1.5 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup frozen corn, thawed
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 1/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
- 1 large avocado, sliced
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
- to taste hot sauce
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment. Toss cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and salt.
- 2Spread potatoes in a single layer and roast 22–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until edges are caramelized and centers are tender when pierced.
- 3While potatoes roast, warm the black beans and corn in a skillet over medium heat with remaining oil for 3–4 minutes. Stir in lime juice, remaining salt, and half the cilantro; remove from heat.
- 4Warm tortillas one at a time in a dry skillet 20–30 seconds per side until pliable, or wrap in a damp towel and microwave 30 seconds.
- 5Lay each tortilla flat and spread Greek yogurt down the center. Layer roasted sweet potatoes, bean-corn mixture, shredded cheese, and avocado slices.
- 6Sprinkle remaining cilantro and a few dashes of hot sauce over the filling. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from the bottom into a burrito-style wrap.
- 7Optional but recommended: return wraps seam-side down to a dry skillet over medium heat for 1–2 minutes per side until lightly toasted and cheese begins to melt.
- 8Slice wraps in half on a diagonal and serve immediately, or wrap tightly in foil for portable work lunches that reheat well.
