I'll never get tired of burritos

I love Mexican food, and I enjoy making it in the traditional style. However, I love finding twists on tradition, and the addition of sweet potatoes in the recipe certainly makes for an interesting meal! I loved this recipe, and I highly encourage you to make it!

Addictive Sweet Potato Burritos

Ingredients:
1-1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/2 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups canned kidney beans, drained
2/3 cup water
1 tablespoon and 1-1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons prepared mustard
1/2 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 tablespoon and 1-1/2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 cups cooked and mashed sweet potatoes
6 (10 inch) flour tortillas, warmed
1/4 pound shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions:
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Heat oil in a medium skillet, and saute onion and garlic until soft. Stir in beans, and mash (I left them whole for more texture). Gradually stir in water, and heat until warm. Remove from heat, and stir in the chili powder, cumin, mustard, cayenne pepper and soy sauce.
  • 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.
  • Bake for 12 minutes and serve.
