Ingredients

1 small sweet potato, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
¼ avocado
¼ cup full-fat Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 cup cooked black beans, rinsed, drained
½ cup grated white cheddar cheese
2 10" whole wheat tortillas

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°. Toss sweet potato, oil, coriander, and cumin on a rimmed baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Roast potatoes, tossing halfway through, until golden brown and tender, 20–25 minutes.

    Step 3

    Spread ½ cup sweet potato, ¼ cup beans, and ¼ cup cheese down center of each tortilla. Top with avocado mixture. Fold sides of tortilla over filling, then roll up to enclose.

    Step 4

    Do Ahead: Sweet potato can be roasted 2 days ahead. Let cool, cover, and chill.
