Ingredients

• 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 can (15 ounces) black beans
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 small onion
• 1 whole lime
• 4 pieces large tortillas
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 1 whole sliced avocado
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Drizzle the sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and lightly browned.

Step 5

While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Step 6

Peel and mince the garlic. Dice the onion finely.

Step 7

Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 8

Drain and rinse the black beans. Add them to the skillet along with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Stir well and cook for 5-6 minutes until heated through.

Step 9

Slice the lime in half and squeeze the juice over the black bean mixture. Stir to combine, then remove from heat.

Step 10

Warm the tortillas briefly in the microwave or on a dry skillet until pliable (about 10-15 seconds).

Step 11

To assemble the burritos, place a generous scoop of roasted sweet potatoes and black bean mixture in the center of each tortilla.

Step 12

Top with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

Step 13

Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a burrito.

Step 14

Serve immediately or wrap in foil for easy transport. Enjoy!
