Ingredients

this Recipe

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (optional, for heat)
• 4 whole wheat or flour tortillas
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 1 cup spinach or mixed greens
• 1/2 cup shredded red cabbage or lettuce
• 1/4 cup hummus or tahini (for spreading)
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Directions

1. Roast the sweet potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, and chili powder. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, flipping halfway through.
2. Prepare the wrap ingredients: While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare your other ingredients. Slice the avocado, chop the spinach or greens, and shred the cabbage or lettuce.
3. Warm the tortillas: Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or wrap them in a damp towel and microwave them for 20-30 seconds to warm through.
4. Assemble the wraps: Once the sweet potatoes are done roasting, start assembling your wraps. Spread a thin layer of hummus or tahini on each tortilla. Then, layer with roasted sweet potatoes, spinach, cabbage, and sliced avocado.
5. Add a finishing touch: Drizzle with lime juice and garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired. Roll up the tortillas tightly, folding in the sides as you go.
6. Serve: Slice the wraps in half and serve immediately.

Storage/Reheating

FAQs

Can I use regular potatoes instead of sweet potatoes?
Yes, you can use regular potatoes, though sweet potatoes offer a naturally sweet and creamy texture that pairs well with the spices.

Can I make these wraps ahead of time?
You can prep the ingredients in advance (roast the sweet potatoes, chop the veggies, and slice the avocado) and store them separately. Assemble the wraps when you’re ready to serve.

Are these wraps gluten-free?
If you use gluten-free tortillas, this recipe can easily be made gluten-free.

Can I freeze the wraps?
While it’s best to enjoy these wraps fresh, you can freeze the individual ingredients and assemble the wraps later. Just be sure to store the sweet potatoes, greens, and avocado separately before wrapping.
