These Loaded Sweet Potato Burritos combine roasted sweet potatoes and black beans with fresh veggies and spices, wrapped in a warm tortilla for a nutritious and flavorful meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Sour cream or Greek yogurt, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Spread sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and lightly browned, tossing halfway through.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté red onion and garlic until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add black beans, corn, diced red bell pepper, and cooked rice to the skillet. Stir to combine and heat through, about 5 minutes.
  5. Remove skillet from heat and stir in roasted sweet potatoes and chopped cilantro.
  6. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable.
  7. Divide the sweet potato mixture evenly among tortillas. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese if using.
  8. Roll up each tortilla burrito-style, folding in the sides as you go.
  9. Serve wrapped burritos with sour cream or Greek yogurt and hot sauce on the side, if desired.

Notes

For extra protein, add cooked grilled chicken or sautéed tofu before rolling the burritos.
