WHAT? Yes. Yes, you heard that right. Sweet potatos, in a burrito. I know, sounds weird...but it was DELCIOUS. And EASY. And VEGETARIAN!
So you know you want the recipe, right? Well, I'll give it to you then!
Oh, the white bean chili from last week was amazing. I can't remember the recipe off the top of my head, so I'll post it when I get home later.
Sweet Potato Burritos
1 medium sweet potato, mashed (I popped mine in the microwave, baked it, then scooped out and mashed)
Some onion (as much or as little as you like), chopped
1 clove garlic
green pepper, chopped (optional, I hate them so I didn't use it)
1 tsp olive oil
3/4 cup black beans (yes, I used canned)
cumin, cayenne pepper, red pepper, chili pepper, other seasonings
shredded cheddar cheese (I use fat free)
4 tortillas (I use whole wheat)
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cook/mash your sweet potato, if you haven't already
3. Heat oil in a small skillet. Add onions, garlic, and pepper if using and sautee.
4. Add black beans to skillet. Stir. Add spices to your liking.
5. On a baking sheet, fill each torilla with some sweet potato, top with black bean mixture, and sprinkle with cheese. Roll up burrito-style, and place seam side-down on the baking sheet.
6. Bake 12 minutes until slightly crisp.
7. EAT (be careful, the sweet potato comes out SCALDING HOT)
They were delicious left over too, but it wasn't crisp anymore. We topped it with a smidge of fat free sour cream--I don't think something tomato based like salsa would taste very good, but you're welcome to try and let me know how it goes! Also, let me know any variations you make, I'd love to hear YOUR ideas!
