Instructions

1. 1.
   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the diced sweet potato in a mixing bowl with 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil until evenly coated. Spread the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are in a single layer. Roast in the oven for 25 minutes, or until they are fork-tender and caramelized at the edges, which will enhance their natural sweetness.
2. 2.
   While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the avocado. Slice the peeled avocado and drizzle it with freshly squeezed lime juice. This not only adds a tangy flavor but also prevents the avocado from browning too quickly. Use a gentle hand when mixing to keep the avocado slices intact.
3. 3.
   Wash and dry the large lettuce leaves thoroughly. This ensures any dirt is removed and the leaves are crisp, adding the perfect crunch to your wraps. If the leaves are wet, the wraps might become soggy, so ensure they are completely dry before using.
4. 4.
   Once the sweet potatoes are ready, let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. This prevents the lettuce from wilting when assembling the wraps and gives you time to organize all components for easy wrapping.
5. 5.
   To assemble, place a layer of roasted sweet potatoes along the center of each lettuce leaf, followed by the avocado slices. Roll up the leaf, tucking in the sides as you go, similar to rolling a burrito, to ensure all ingredients are secured inside. Serve immediately while the sweet potatoes are slightly warm, enhancing the contrast with the cool, creamy avocado.
