Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Total Time: 50 minutes

Servings: 4 burritos

Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients:

• 1 cup cooked lentils
• 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 large tortillas
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 lime, cut into wedges
• Optional: salsa, hot sauce, or cheese (for serving)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3. Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through for even cooking.
4. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat until soft and pliable, about 30-45 seconds per side. Set aside, keeping them warm.
5. In a medium bowl, mix the cooked lentils with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
6. To assemble the burritos, lay a warm tortilla flat and add a generous portion of roasted sweet potatoes, followed by the lentils. Top with sliced avocado and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.
7. Squeeze a lime wedge over the filling, then fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly into a burrito.
8. Serve with your favorite salsa, hot sauce, or a sprinkling of cheese if desired. Enjoy warm!

Helpful Tips:

• For a smoother prep: Prepare the lentils and roast the sweet potatoes the night before. Simply reheat and assemble the burritos in the morning.
• Variations: Add scrambled eggs for extra protein, or switch the tortilla to a whole wheat or gluten-free option based on dietary preferences.
• Storage Instructions: Store assembled but unheated burritos in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave before serving.
• Ingredient Substitutions: Black beans can replace lentils for a different texture, and butternut squash can substitute sweet potatoes.
