🌯 The Ultimate Guide to Sweet Potato and Black Bean Burritos: A Flavorful, Nutritious, and Easy Recipe


  • Author: Hannah

Ingredients

  • – 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

  • – 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • – 1/2 teaspoon chili powder

  • – 1/2 teaspoon cumin

  • – Salt and pepper, to taste

  • – 1 (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained

  • – 1/2 cup diced red onion

  • – 1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)

  • – 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

  • – Juice of 1 lime

  • – 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)

  • – 4–6 large flour tortillas

  • – Optional toppings: avocado, salsa, sour cream, hot sauce


Instructions

  1. Roast sweet potatoes: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes, or until tender and slightly crispy.

  2. Prepare filling: In a large bowl, combine roasted sweet potatoes, black beans, red onion, corn, cilantro, and lime juice. Toss gently.

  3. Assemble burritos: Warm tortillas slightly to make them pliable. Spoon filling into each tortilla, top with shredded cheese, and add any optional toppings.

  4. Wrap and heat (optional): Roll burritos tightly. For a crispy finish, heat on a dry skillet or griddle over medium heat for 1–2 minutes per side until golden and warmed through.

  5. Serve: Slice in half and enjoy with extra salsa or guac on the side! 🥑🌶️
