Instructions

Step 1: Roast Sweet Potato

Peel some sweet potato and cut it into small cubes.
2 large sweet potatoes
Place on a baking tray (lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy clean up).
Toss the cubed sweet potato with vegetable oil and taco seasoning.
2 teaspoons taco seasoning, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Roast in an oven preheated to 400 °F for 20-25 minutes.

Step 2: Mix Refried Beans

Add refried beans to a medium-sized mixing bowl along with all the spices.
2 cups can refried beans, 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon ground cumin, salt, black pepper
Stir to combine, then taste and adjust flavors as needed.

Step 3: Assemble Burritos

Prepare any other burrito fillings you like. I think this recipe pairs perfectly with kale tossed with lime juice and homemade cashew sour cream.
Other burrito toppings
When the sweet potatoes are cooked, assemble your burritos. Use 4 large flour tortillas and spread ¼ of the refried beans onto each tortilla, followed by ¼ of the roasted sweet potato.
