Ingredients

  • 3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut in quarters lengthwise
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • 4 Ezekiel 4:9 Flax Tortillas
  • 1/2 cup Bitchin' Cilantro Chili Sauce (sub salsa verde or hummus)
  • 1/2 pkg alfalfa sprouts
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup pepitas

Instructions

Roasted the Sweet Potatoes

  • Preheat oven to 375℉. Wash, peel and cut your sweet potatoes lengthwise into quarters. Drizzle with the olive oil and shimmy the pan around to get them coated. Season well with salt and pepper. Roasted for 30-40 minutes, turning over halfway through. Potatoes should be very tender and started to turn golden.

Assemble the Pinwheels

  • Lay a tortilla on a flat working surface. Spread about 2 tbsp of the sauce onto the lower 1/2 of the tortilla. Sprinkle with about 1 tbsp pepitas. Layer on about 1/2 cup of spinach, 1/4 cup sprouts. Add two slabs of potato and some bell pepper strips.
  • Roll the tortilla over the filling and tuck in underneath, pulling toward you gently while using your palms to gently compact everything. Finish rolling the wrap up. Trim off the ends with a serrated knife and cut into pinwheels.
