Ingredients
  

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack
  • 8 small flour tortillas 6-inch size
  • Neutral oil for pan-frying
  • For the Yogurt-Lime Dip
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • Zest of 1 lime
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • Toss diced sweet potato with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Microwave in a covered bowl for 5–6 minutes until soft (or roast at 425°F for 20 minutes if feeling fancy).
  • In a mixing bowl, mash sweet potato lightly and stir in black beans, cumin, lime juice, and a bit more salt to taste.
  • Spread 2–3 tablespoons of filling on half of each tortilla, sprinkle with cheese, and fold into a triangle.
  • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium with a slick of oil. Cook foldovers in batches, 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and crisp.
  • Whisk together all yogurt-lime dip ingredients in a small bowl.
  • Serve foldovers warm on a mezze board with dip, olives, cucumbers, and whatever else feels festive.

Notes

Shortcuts? Use canned sweet potato or frozen mashed sweet potato if you’re in no-chop mode.
• Swaps? Try white beans or lentils, feta or dairy-free cheese, or add chipotle for heat.
• Toddler Tip: Skip the lime and spices in a few and cut into dippable strips.
• Apéro Energy: These shine with a chilled glass of rosé or sparkling water with lime.
