Ingredients

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
olive oil, to taste
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
kosher salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
½ medium yellow onion, diced
1 jalapeño, seeded and diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon ground cumin
cayenne pepper, to taste
15 oz black beans, 1 can, drained and rinsed
¾ cup corn
3 large flour tortillas
lettuce, chopped, for serving
diced tomato, for serving
shredded vegan cheddar cheese, for serving
guacamole, for serving

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Add the sweet potatoes to a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil, the paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until well coated.
Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the sweet potato is tender.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until semi-translucent. Add the jalapeño, garlic, chili powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the spices are fragrant. Add the black beans and corn, season with salt and pepper, and cook until warmed through, 3-4 more minutes.
To assemble a burrito, add ⅓ of the bean and corn mixture, ⅓ of the roasted sweet potatoes, some lettuce, tomatoes, vegan cheese, and guacamole to the center of a tortilla. Fold in the sides and roll up, keeping the filling tucked in place. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Cut in half and serve.
Enjoy!

1 bell pepper (chopped (any color))
2 garlic cloves (minced)
1 teaspoon sea salt ((or to taste))

Tips:

Choosing the right beans: For this recipe, it's recommended to use canned beans for convenience, but you can also use dried beans. Just remember to soak and cook them before using.
Roasting the sweet potatoes: Roasting the sweet potatoes adds a delicious caramelized flavor. Make sure to toss them with oil and spices before roasting for even cooking and flavor distribution.
Using a food processor: A food processor makes it easy to puree the sweet potatoes and beans for a smooth filling. If you don't have a food processor, you can use a blender or mash the ingredients by hand.
Assembling the burritos: To prevent the burritos from falling apart, make sure to spread the filling evenly and roll them tightly. You can also use toothpicks or skewers to secure them.
Serving suggestions: Serve the burritos with your favorite toppings like salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or shredded cheese. You can also add a side of rice or beans for a more complete meal.
