Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium (400g) Sweet potatoes
- 1 can (15 oz) Black beans
- 4 pieces Whole wheat tortillas
- 1/2 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 lime Lime juice
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- To taste Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Prep and Preheat – Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Peel and dice sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
- Step 2: Season Sweet Potatoes – In a bowl, toss diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Step 3: Roast – Spread seasoned sweet potatoes on baking sheet in single layer. Roast 25-30 minutes until tender and caramelized, tossing halfway through.
- Step 4: Prepare Bean Mixture – While potatoes roast, combine drained black beans with chopped cilantro and lime juice in another bowl.
- Step 5: Assemble – Layer roasted sweet potatoes on tortillas, followed by black bean mixture. Roll tightly.
- Step 6: Serve – Serve immediately with extra lime wedges on the side for additional brightness.
Notes
- Cut sweet potatoes into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking and prevent some pieces from burning while others remain undercooked
- Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet as this will steam the potatoes instead of roasting them, preventing proper caramelization
- Warm your tortillas slightly before assembling to make them more pliable and prevent cracking when rolling
- Store roasted sweet potatoes and seasoned black beans in separate containers for up to 3 days ahead, reheat sweet potatoes in the oven and assemble just before serving
