- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Cook Time: 20 minutes
- Total Time: 35 minutes
- Servings: 4 wraps
- Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 4 large whole wheat tortillas
- 2 cups crisp lettuce, chopped
- 1/2 cup vegan sour cream
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and pepper until well-coated.
- Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, turning halfway, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
- While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat the black beans in a small saucepan over medium heat until warmed through. You can add a pinch of smoked paprika for extra flavor.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until soft and pliable.
- To assemble the wraps, lay each tortilla flat and layer with a generous portion of crispy lettuce, roasted sweet potatoes, and smoky black beans.
- Add a dollop of vegan sour cream on top and a squeeze of fresh lime juice for a tangy finish.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, and serve immediately.
Helpful Tips
- Variations: You can add your favorite veggies such as roasted bell peppers, corn, or avocado for extra nutrition and flavor.
- Storage: Store any leftover ingredients separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Assemble the wraps just before serving to keep everything fresh.
- Substitutions: If you don’t have vegan sour cream, Greek yogurt or a simple homemade tahini sauce can be great alternatives.
