Sweet Potato Black Bean Burritos are full of different textures and flavored to perfection. They are fresh, delicious and easy to make! They are burst of wonder and flavor with every bite.
We like to incorporate meatless days in a few times a week for a variety of reasons, and this one is so easy and a go to meal in our home. I love that I can just throw whatever we have in the fridge on it, to mix it up. Sometimes we have it with just the sweet potatoes, black beans, lettuce and dressing. We usually put guacamole on it too, but we are all obsessed with guacamole. Check out our amazing guacamole recipe here. I'll often throw peppers or tomatoes or corn on it to make it a little different. The kids love it, the husband loves it. It's inexpensive, it's easy to make and comes together pretty quickly.
First start by chopping up the sweet potatoes. Then season and bake them. Next, rinse and drain the can of black beans. Wash and chop the lettuce. Then make the dressing. The dressing is very easy to make. I usually make it in our Ninja in a smoothie cup, but any blender will work. Just dump all the ingredients in and blend until combined. Make guacamole, if desired.
Next assemble the burritos! I'm in love with raw tortillas I have to cooke myself. I think they make all the difference in taste in any flour tortilla. But regular precooked tortillas are fine and much quicker. I cook my tortillas, then smear on guacamole, pile on the sweet potatoes and black beans. Next, top with lettuce and other optional toppings and pour on the dressing. Finally, roll it up into a burrito and devour your sweet potato black bean burritos!
