How to make Sweet Potato Tortilla Roll :
Cook the Sweet Potatoes:Boil or steam the sweet potatoes until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly. Mash them in a bowl and mix in lime juice, cumin, salt, and pepper.
Prepare the Tortillas:Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave to make them more pliable.
Assemble the Rolls:Spread a layer of mashed sweet potato on each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges. Top with black beans, corn, avocado slices, red bell pepper, and shredded cheese.
Roll Up:Carefully roll up each tortilla tightly, starting from one end and tucking in the sides as you go. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
Serve:Slice the rolls into pinwheels or serve whole. Garnish with fresh cilantro and additional lime juice if desired.
Recipe Notes :
Tortilla Options: For a gluten-free version, opt for tortillas made with cassava flour or sweet potato flour.
Spice Variations: Adjust the level of heat by modifying the amount of chili powder or adding a dash of cayenne pepper.
Storage Tips: Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes before serving.
Serving Suggestions: Pair with a side of fresh salsa or a dollop of Greek yogurt for added flavor.
