Ingredients

  • 6-8 Yukon gold potatoes cubed (Yukon gold potatoes are a good choice for roasting due to their creamy texture)
  • 1 red bell pepper diced (adds a sweet flavor)
  • 1 orange bell pepper diced (adds color and sweetness)
  • 1 yellow onion diced (provides savory flavor)
  • 1 roma tomato diced (adds juiciness and freshness)
  • 1 tablespoon paprika for a smoky flavor
  • 1 tablespoon cumin adds earthy spice
  • Salt and pepper to taste (seasoning)

Chipotle Black Beans:

  • 2 teaspoon cumin adds earthy flavor
  • 1 teaspoon paprika for depth of flavor
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast adds umami
  • 1 teaspoon salt seasoning
  • 38 oz canned black beans drained and rinsed (two 19-oz cans) (black beans provide protein and fiber)
  • ¼ cup vegetable broth helps create a saucy texture

Creamy Chipotle Sauce:

  • ¾ cups raw cashews soaked overnight or boiled for 10 minutes (soaked cashews create a creamy texture)
  • ½ cup unsweetened plant-based milk provides a creamy base
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt for seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup adds sweetness to balance the spice
  • 1 lime juiced (for acidity and brightness)
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce plus 1 teaspoon adobo sauce (adjust to desired spice level)

To Assemble:

  • 10 tortilla wraps choose your favorite size or type of wrap
  • Fresh cilantro chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. On a sheet pan, add the diced bell peppers, onion, potatoes, and tomato. Season with paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper, then toss everything together. Roast for 45 minutes, or until the potatoes are crispy.

  • While the potatoes roast, heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, sliced chipotle pepper, cumin, paprika, nutritional yeast, and salt. Sauté until fragrant, then add the black beans and vegetable broth. Stir until combined, then use a potato masher to mash the beans into a thick paste, leaving some beans intact.
