Vegan Sweet Potato Burrito

This Vegan Sweet Potato Burrito combines the creamy sweetness of roasted sweet potatoes with hearty black beans and fresh vegetables, all wrapped in a warm tortilla. It's a satisfying and nutritious lunch option that is both flavorful and filling.

Ingredients

• Sweet potato - 300 grams
• Black beans - 1 cup (cooked, drained)
• Red bell pepper - 1 medium, diced
• Red onion - 1 small, diced
• Corn kernels - 1/2 cup (fresh or frozen)
• Tortillas - 2 large (10-inch)
• Avocado - 1 medium, sliced
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Chili powder - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Fresh cilantro - for garnish

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Peel and cube the sweet potato into small pieces and place them on a baking sheet.
3. Drizzle the sweet potatoes with olive oil, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
4. Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.
5. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and sauté the diced red onion and red bell pepper for about 5-7 minutes until softened.
6. Add the black beans and corn to the skillet, stirring to combine and heating through for another 3-5 minutes.
7. Once the sweet potatoes are done, add them to the skillet mixture and gently fold everything together. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
8. Warm the tortillas in a dry pan or microwave for a few seconds until pliable.
9. To assemble the burritos, lay a tortilla flat, add a generous amount of the sweet potato mixture, and top with avocado slices and fresh cilantro.
10. Wrap the burrito tightly, tucking in the sides as you roll it up. Repeat with the second tortilla.
11. Serve immediately, optionally with salsa or hot sauce on the side.
