Preheat the oven to 200°C with fan (or 220°C without fan). Wash the sweet potato thoroughly, dry it, and peel it using a vegetable peeler. Then cut it into even cubes about 1.5 cm on each side. Transfer the chopped sweet potato to a large bowl, drizzle with two tablespoons of olive oil, and sprinkle with smoked paprika, cumin, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly by hand so that each cube is evenly coated with the spices.
Description
Here is a recipe for the perfect takeout dish: a nutritious, colorful, and incredibly tasty wrap that will satisfy even the most discerning palates. The inspiration for this dish comes from Latin American cuisine, combining the natural sweetness of roasted sweet potatoes, the earthy flavor of black beans, and the freshness of a creamy avocado and lime sauce. Each bite is an explosion of flavors and textures – soft, slightly caramelized sweet potatoes, hearty beans, crunchy corn and onion, all wrapped in a velvety, refreshing sauce. The dish is not only delicious but also balanced and rich in fiber, plant protein, and healthy fats. Its greatest advantage is versatility – it tastes wonderful both warm and at room temperature, making it an excellent choice for a work lunch, a school snack, a picnic, or a meal on the go. Firmly rolled, it doesn't fall apart and is convenient to eat without utensils.

Preparation steps
Preparing the filling
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the seasoned sweet potato cubes on the sheet in a single, even layer. It's important that the pieces do not overlap, as this will allow them to roast nicely instead of steaming. Place the sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Halfway through cooking (after about 15 minutes), stir the sweet potatoes with a spatula. They will be ready when they are soft in the center (check with a fork) and slightly browned on the outside.
While the sweet potatoes are baking, prepare the rest of the filling ingredients. Open the cans of black beans and corn. Transfer their contents to a fine mesh strainer and rinse thoroughly under cold running water. Leave in the strainer for a few minutes to drain well. Peel the red onion and chop it into very small cubes. If you are using fresh cilantro, chop it finely.
When the baked sweet potatoes have cooled slightly (about 5 minutes), transfer them to a large bowl. Add the rinsed beans, corn, chopped red onion, and chopped cilantro (if using). Gently mix everything with a large spoon, trying not to mash the soft sweet potato cubes. Taste and season with an extra pinch of salt or pepper if needed. The filling is ready.
Preparing the sauce
Prepare the sauce. Cut the avocado in half lengthwise and remove the pit. Scoop out the flesh with a spoon and place it in a blender or small food processor. Add thick natural yogurt, the juice of the whole lime, a peeled garlic clove, a pinch of salt and pepper. If you like spicier flavors, you can add optional chili flakes now. Blend everything until you have a perfectly smooth, creamy mixture. If the sauce is too thick, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of water to achieve the desired consistency.
Assembling the wraps
Heat a large, dry skillet over medium heat. Place the tortillas one by one and warm them for about 20-30 seconds on each side. The tortilla should become warm and more flexible, but not browned. Lay the warm tortilla on a clean surface. Spread a generous portion (about 2 tablespoons) of avocado-lime sauce in the center, leaving the edges free (about 3-4 cm). If using lettuce, place one or two leaves now.
On the layer of sauce, place about 1/4 of the prepared filling with sweet potatoes, arranging it in a long strip in the center of the tortilla. Now it's time to roll. First, fold the bottom edge of the tortilla inward, covering part of the filling. Next, while holding the bottom edge, fold the sides (left and right) inward. Finally, tightly roll the wrap from the bottom up, creating a neat roll that is closed on one side. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Fun Fact
Sweet potatoes are not closely related to regular potatoes at all. They belong to the morning glory family, while potatoes are part of the nightshade family. Despite the name 'potato', botanically they are closer to ornamental vines than to our traditional spuds.

Tips
Ready wraps can be cut in half at an angle to appetizingly showcase the colorful filling. To take them to go, tightly wrap each wrap in parchment paper or aluminum foil – this will help maintain their shape. The remaining sauce can be packed in a small, airtight container for dipping.
They taste best on the day they are made. If you want to store them for later, wrap each wrap individually and tightly in plastic wrap. They can be kept in the fridge for up to 2 days. The filling and sauce can be stored separately in the fridge for up to 3 days, and you can assemble the wraps just before eating to prevent the tortillas from getting soggy.
