My favorite way to enjoy these Loaded Sweet Potato Burritos is with a simple side of roasted corn or a fresh tomato salad. The crunch contrasts beautifully with the soft burrito filling.

These burritos are perfect for casual weeknights when I want something filling but don’t want to fuss. They’re also a hit at informal gatherings—friends often ask for the recipe after trying the sweet potato and black bean burrito version.

If I’m saving leftovers, I wrap individual burritos tightly in foil or parchment paper and store them in the fridge. They reheat perfectly in a pan or microwave, making them an easy grab-and-go lunch.

Sometimes I switch things up by adding sliced jalapeños for a spicy kick or swapping in roasted sweet potato breakfast burritos style with scrambled eggs and black beans for brunch. You might also enjoy this twist from another fellow home cook over at Wandering Chickpea.

Absolutely! Make the filling and wrap the burritos individually. Store in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days. They reheat well in a skillet or microwave. Perfect for a nourishing grab-and-go lunch.

No worries! Out of black beans? Use pinto or kidney beans instead. No quinoa? Skip it or add cooked rice. No whole wheat tortillas? Flour or corn wraps work fine here. This recipe is super flexible.

If you like it spicier, add a pinch of cayenne or finely diced jalapeño. For a smokier flavor, try smoked paprika instead of regular chili powder. Fresh lime juice right before serving brightens things up beautifully.

Loaded Sweet Potato Burritos are vegetarian, and they can easily be vegan if you skip cheese and use a plant-based yogurt or avocado as creamy toppings.

Yes! Wrap tightly in foil and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating gently on the stove or in the oven.

Make sure to slightly cool the filling before assembling and don’t overfill. Warm tortillas before rolling—they’re more pliable and less likely to tear.

Sometimes I serve the filling components separately: roasted sweet potatoes, beans, and cheese on the side. Letting kids customize their own burrito can be a fun compromise!
