How to make Sweet Potato Tortilla Roll :

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.
