- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Cooking Tips:
- To save time, you can use canned black beans instead of cooking them from scratch.
- Make sure to dice the sweet potatoes and vegetables into small, bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
- You can adjust the spices to your liking - add more chili powder for extra heat, or omit the smoked paprika if you don't like the smoky flavor.
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. In a large skillet, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced sweet potatoes and cook for 5-7 minutes, until they start to soften.
3. Add the diced onion, red and green bell peppers, and garlic to the skillet. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
4. Add the cooked black beans, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the beans are heated through.
5. Warm the flour tortillas in the oven for a few minutes, until they are soft and pliable.
6. To assemble the burritos, spoon some of the black bean and sweet potato mixture onto each tortilla. Top with chopped cilantro, crumbled feta cheese, and a dollop of sour cream (if using).
7. Roll up the burritos tightly, tucking in the ends as you go.
8. Serve the burritos hot, garnished with extra cilantro and feta cheese if desired.
