Chef's Note
For meal prep, keep the avocado cream separate and assemble just before eating to prevent soggy wraps. You can also make the sweet potato and black bean mixture a day ahead and reheat before assembling. For extra fiber, look for tortillas with at least 5g of fiber per serving.

2 cans (15 oz each), drained and rinsed black beans

Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
Peel the 2 sweet potatoes and cut into 1/2-inch cubes. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- 3
Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.
- 4
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
- 5
Add the diced red bell pepper to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
- 6
Add the drained black beans, corn kernels, remaining spices (1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper). Stir to combine and cook for 5 minutes until heated through.
- 7
Stir in 1 tablespoon lime juice and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro. Remove from heat and set aside.
- 8
For the avocado cream, combine the flesh of 2 ripe avocados, 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 2 minced garlic cloves, minced jalapeño (if using), remaining 1 tablespoon lime juice, and remaining 1/4 cup cilantro in a food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- 9
Warm the 4 whole wheat tortillas according to package instructions or in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds per side.
- 10
To assemble each wrap, spread about 3 tablespoons of avocado cream on each tortilla. Layer with 1/2 cup baby spinach, 1/4 of the black bean mixture, 1/4 of the roasted sweet potatoes, and 3 ounces of sliced grilled chicken.
- 11
Sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon chia seeds over each wrap for added fiber and nutrition.

Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll up tightly. Cut in half diagonally and serve immediately.
