Sweet Potato Burritos!

I love sweet potatoes!!! So I thought I would try this out!!
 Got this recipe from my favorite recipe site, allrecipes.com, but of course I made some changes.

First major change, I cut the recipe in half and it made 5 big burritto's.



Ingredients

  • 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, or to taste
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 4 cups cooked and mashed sweet potatoes
  • 12 (10 inch) flour tortillas, warmed
  • 8 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Heat oil in a medium skillet, and saute onion and garlic until soft. Stir in beans, and mash. Gradually stir in water, and heat until warm. Remove from heat, and stir in the chili powder, cumin, mustard, cayenne pepper and soy sauce.
  3. Divide bean mixture and mashed sweet potatoes evenly between the warm flour tortillas. Top with cheese. Fold up tortillas burrito style, and place on a baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 12 minutes in the preheated oven, and serve.

* I didn't have: cumin, chili powder or soy sauce. So I put in more cayenne and taco seasoning.  Also I didn't use all the water (1C) and the consistency was perfect because I didn't drain the beans.  

This was a very yummy recipe and we decided it was a keeper!
Try it out and let me know!
