Total Time: 35 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 burritos
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, diced
- 1 can black beans, rinsed
- 1 cup corn
- 4 large tortillas
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- Fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash and dice sweet potatoes into small, uniform 1/2-inch cubes. Toss the cubes with olive oil, cumin, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
- Spread sweet potato cubes evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until edges are crispy and potatoes are tender.
- While sweet potatoes are roasting, drain and rinse black beans. Warm corn in a small saucepan or microwave.
- In a skillet over medium heat, warm the tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side to make them pliable.
- Assemble burritos by placing roasted sweet potatoes in the center of each tortilla, topped with black beans, warm corn, and shredded cheese.
- Fold the bottom of the tortilla up, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly to create a sealed burrito.
- Optional: Return burritos to the skillet and toast for 2-3 minutes on each side for a crispy exterior.
- Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy warm.
Tips
- Cut sweet potatoes into uniform 1/2-inch cubes to ensure even roasting and crispy edges.
- Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sweet potatoes from sticking.
- Warm tortillas briefly to make them more pliable and prevent cracking when rolling.
- For extra crispiness, lightly toast the assembled burritos in a skillet after filling.
- Prep ingredients in advance to make morning assembly quick and easy.
- Experiment with additional toppings like avocado, salsa, or Greek yogurt for added flavor.
- For meal prep, these burritos can be wrapped and refrigerated, then quickly reheated in the morning.
