Recipe FAQs
- → How do I roast the sweet potatoes evenly?
Cut sweet potatoes into uniform cubes and spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toss halfway through roasting to ensure even caramelization.
- → Can I substitute the black beans with another type?
Yes, pinto or kidney beans work well and provide similar texture and flavor to complement the roasted vegetables.
- → What can I use instead of cranberry sauce for the spread?
Try a mild salsa, hummus, or a tangy chutney to add moisture and an extra layer of flavor.
- → How do I keep the tortilla from tearing when wrapping?
Warm the tortillas gently until pliable to prevent cracking, then roll tightly, tucking sides in as you go.
- → Are there good toppings to add for crunch?
Toasted pumpkin seeds or slivered almonds add a delightful crunch and nutty flavor to the wrap.
