•    1 avocado mashed
•    ½ lime, juiced
•    Shredded lettuce

Instructions

1.    Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2.    Toss sweet potato with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast until tender –about 30 minutes.
3.    In four, pint-sized mason jars, layer 1/2 cup cooked rice, and ¼ each of the roasted sweet potato, black beans, corn, Pico de Gallo, and cilantro.
4.    Refrigerate until ready to serve.
5.    When ready to eat, warm the burrito jars in the microwave until hot.

Tip

Allow the jars to rest at room temperature for a few moments before reheating to avoid shocking the cold glass jars in the microwave.
