Ingredients

• 2 medium sweet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 can (15 oz) black beans
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 2 cloves garlic
• 4 large tortillas
• 1 large avocado
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
• 0.5 cup salsa
• 1 cup shredded lettuce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes.

Step 3

Toss the sweet potato cubes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, cumin, chili powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Spread them onto a baking sheet in a single layer.

Step 4

Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 5

While the sweet potatoes roast, drain and rinse the black beans.

Step 6

In a small saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Mince the garlic and sauté it for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 7

Add the black beans, lime juice, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the saucepan. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the beans are heated through and slightly softened.

Step 8

Mash half of the black beans with the back of a spoon to create a chunky consistency. Remove from heat.

Step 9

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.

Step 10

Slice the avocado and roughly chop the cilantro.

Step 11

Assemble the burritos: Spread a quarter of the roasted sweet potatoes and black beans down the center of each tortilla. Top with sliced avocado, shredded lettuce, salsa, and a sprinkle of cilantro.

Step 12

Roll up the tortilla tightly by folding in the sides and then rolling from one end to the other.

Step 13

Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.

Step 14

Serve immediately or wrap in foil for a portable meal.
