Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup cooked brown rice
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (red or green)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: sour cream and hot sauce for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Spread the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized, flipping halfway through.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the roasted sweet potatoes, black beans, cooked brown rice, corn, red onion, bell peppers, and cilantro. Mix gently to combine.
  4. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
  5. Divide the sweet potato mixture evenly among the tortillas. Top each with sliced avocado and shredded cheddar cheese.
  6. Roll up each tortilla tightly to form a burrito. Optionally, toast the burritos in a skillet for 2-3 minutes per side to crisp the outside.
  7. Serve warm with sour cream and hot sauce if desired.

Notes

For extra protein, add some cooked shredded chicken or tofu. You can also swap flour tortillas for whole wheat or gluten-free options.
