Addicitve Sweet Potato Burritos

Let me preface this post with a little fun tidbit about the Henry's...we LOVE sweet potatoes!

Seriously, if I see a recipe that has sweet potatoes in it, I'm automatically intrigued and that was certainly the case when I came across this recipe for Addictive Sweet Potato Burritos on Allrecipes.com!

This recipe makes a ton of burritos (12) and is fairly easy. We had enough for dinner and lunch the following day. I'm always a fan of meals that can do double-duty...anything to save a little time! Anyway, it was absolutely delicious and I hope you will try it soon! Enjoy!

Addictive Sweet Potato Burritos

Here is what you will need:

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

6 cups canned kidney beans, drained

2 cups water

3 tablespoons chili powder

2 teaspoons ground cumin

4 teaspoons prepared mustard

1 pinch cayenne pepper

3 tablespoons soy sauce

4 cups cooked and mashed sweet potatoes

12 (10 inch) flour tortillas, warmed

1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

First things first, go ahead and skin, cube and boil your sweet potatoes. When they are good and soft, let them cool, mash away and then set aside. While those are boiling go ahead and prep your ingredients: cut your onion, mince your garlic and drain your beans.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. While that baby is heating up, heat your vegetable oil in a medium sized skillet over medium heat. Saute your onion and garlic until fragrant and soft. Then, stir in your beans and give them a little mash. Don't fret it they aren't completely mashed...that is ok! Gradually stir in your water and keep on stove until all is warm.

Now, remove from heat and stir in your chili powder, cumin, mustard, pepper and soy sauce.

To make your tortillas suitable for burrito makin', warm them about 15 seconds each in a medium skillet over medium heat. After being warmed, they tend to fold and wrap a lot easier!

Spoon your bean mixture and your mashed sweet potatoes into the warmed tortillas side-by-side and evenly. Top with your shredded cheese before folding up burrito style!

Place on a baking sheet and bake for about 12 minutes or so and then serve!

We topped the burritos with a little sour cream and WOW...tasty!
