Guest guest Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 I didn't have any burrito shells so I decided to just layer the mashed sweet potatoes, then black bean mixture and then the cheese on top of that and bake it. I also made some garlic bread. So when we ate, we spread the baked sweet potato/black bean/cheese mixture above on our bread at serving time. It was very good. Thanks Judy JAPatrick for sharing this healthy and delicious recipe. It would have been good served with some tortilla chips too.

I like to make extra and freeze them. Judy - another one Sweet Potato & Black Bean Burritos Olive oil 1 small onion, chopped 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 cans black beans (drain some but not all of the liquid) 3 medium sweet potatoes 2 tablespoons soy sauce 8 to 10 large tortillas Shredded cheddar cheese Chili powder Cumin Cayenne pepper Cilantro Salt and Pepper Microwave sweet potatoes so they are cooked all the way through. Remove from skins and mash. Season with salt & pepper to taste. Set aside Heat oil in large pan and saute onions and garlic until soft. Gradually stir in black beans and the liquid you saved. Add soy sauce and seasonings to taste. Simmer until liquid is reduced and beans aren't runny. Layer sweet potato, beans and shredded cheddar in tortillas and roll up as burritos. Bake for 12 minutes in a 350 degree oven. As the number of burritos depends upon the size of the sweet potatoes and the person filling the tortillas, freeze any burritos in excess of your needs before baking. This recipe cut in half will leave plenty of burritos to freeze when making for two people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Thanks for the new idea on a favorite recipe! I'm really enjoying this group. So many wonderful recipes to get me inspired. My husband bought me an aerogarden for Christmas, so I have fresh herbs growing. I need to make sure I use them, so looking for recipes to help me in that area. I've also joined the aerogarden to keep me on track with my little garden. Judy (JAPatrick)     Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
