Healthy sweet potato black bean collard wraps that will keep you full for hours.

Sweet Potato Black Bean Collard Wraps

These are a few of my favorite things – sweet potatoes, avocados, black beans, burritos, and spicy. Also, Clark. Clark is back! Everybody say "Hiiiiiiiiii, Clark!"

Excuse my enthusiasm – I've just really missed my dude. 5 weeks is way, way too long to be apart. Thankfully, I survived to tell the tale and to give you the gift of burritos. Life is good today.

Sweet Potato Black Bean Collard Wrap

Sweet Potato

This kind of recipe is my favorite to make and to share – when I have a bunch of random produce sitting around the kitchen and I figure out how to put it all together. The huge bag of gorgeous collard greens that I picked up at Whole Foods for $1.50 per bunch seemed like a good place to start.

When I bought these collards, I planned on sautéing them up with garlic and onion with a cajun twist like we usually do. But then I got them home, took a better look at them and I just couldn't do it. Every leaf in both of the bunches was perfect. It didn't seem right to cook them. Change of plans – roast sweet potatoes in a smoky, spicy blend of seasonings, smash up the avocados, kick up the black beans a notch, and fill the chard leaves until they overflow. [All of this while sneaking sweet potatoes off the baking sheet because they are seriously addicting.]

Take all of my favorite things [except Clark] and roll them all up in a big, beautiful leaf? Perfection.

    I definitely had my doubts about this recipe considering I substituted Swiss chard for collard greens, I was not disappointed in the least......the collage of flavors together were stupendous to say the least! It was truly incredible! I will serve it again and again!
