    sweet potato wrap

    I had a couple of Sweet Potatoes I needed to use up so decided to make these delicious Sweet Potato Wraps. Super easy to make!

    onion and bell pepper in skillet
    Onion and Bell Pepper Mixture

    I decided to add a few other simple ingredients to my sweet potato wraps like a little onion and a bell pepper I already had on hand. Oh yeah and some diced roasted Poblano Peppers.

    cilantro pesto

    Adding Ingredients to Tortilla

    The roasted Poblano Peppers might be a challenge for some. If you've never roasted poblanos before don't stress, I wrote an article on 3 different ways on How to Roast Poblano Peppers.

    ingredients in tortilla

    The cheese you add to these wraps is entirely up to you. I usually like to use some Gouda which pairs well with the other ingredients but sometimes I like to use a blend of cheeses in this case, gouda, asiago and cheddar.

    You can use plain Flour Tortillas for these wraps but you can take it up a notch by using some nice spinach tortillas as you see in the pictures or even some sun-dried tortillas. Like I always say, use what you got!

    To bake the sweet potatoes, heat the oven to 400°F and bake for about 40 minutes. The potatoes will be ready when a fork easily pierces the skin and the flesh is fork tender.

    🌮 How to Soften Tortillas

    When the time comes to warm up your tortillas, you have a few options. You can wrap the tortillas in foil and bake them for 10 minutes at 350°F. You can also put them in a non-stick pan to heat both sides of the tortilla (this is how I usually do it), heat them over an open flame, or if you must, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave them for about 30 seconds.

    🥣 How to Make Sweet Potato Wraps
