Vegetarian Sweet Potato and Black Bean Whole Wheat Tortilla Bowls

Roasting the sweet potatoes gives them a deeper, more caramelized flavour, which balances nicely with the savoury black beans.

Ingredients

1 1/4 lb (625 g) sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice (about 4 cups)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 tablespoon honey
2 poblano chiles, stems and seeds removed, cut into 1/2-inch dice
