The long awaited recipe

Many people requested the recipe for the "Black bean and Sweet Potato Burritos".   I am sorry that it has taken so long to get the recipe to you, but I promise you it is well worth the wait.  I have to tell you at first I was a little uncertain as I was making this meal, but the proof of amazingness was in the taste of the first bite.  If you try it, I hope you enjoy it as much Jeff and I did.  Here is the recipe at your very own fingertips.  Just like any recipe, adjust the portions to your liking.  Some of these recipes make quite a bit of food.  Or if you choose to make the whole portion you can always freeze for later :)

Black Bean Sweet Potato Burritos
  • 3 cups sweet potatoes (peeled and diced)
  • 1/2 onion (chopped)
Saute' in large frypan in 1 tablespoon olive oil just until tender.  Add water or apple juice as needed to prevent sticking
  • 2 cups cooked blacked beans (you can also use canned black beans)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt 
Add and cook until heated through
  • 8 wheat tortillas
  • 1 1/2 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
Divide bean mixture and cheese among the tortillas and roll up.
Place in a 9 x 13 inch pan baking pan.  Lightly spray with olive oil if desired.  Cover pan with foil and bake at 350 F for 20-25 min.  Garnish with sour cream, salsa, and fresh cilantro.

I served Spanish rice on the side.  This meal is fantastic.  Enjoy!
