sweet bean burritos

Sweet Bean Burritos
Bean Mixture:1 tablespoon vegetable oil1 onion, chopped4 cloves garlic, minced2 cans black beans, drained and rinsed1 cup water2 tablespoons chili powder2 teaspoons ground cumin3 tablespoons soy sauce
Sweet Potato Mixture4 medium sweet potatoes, cooked (I usually microwave them)2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce1/4 c fresh cilantro
12 whole wheat tortillas (warm them up if they are too hard to roll)4 ounces shredded Mexican cheese4-6 oz cheddar cheese to top burritos
DIRECTIONS Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).Heat oil in a medium skillet, and saute onion and garlic until soft. Stir in beans and water, and heat until warm. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, and soy sauce. Let this bubble away while you get the sweet potatoes ready will cook for at least 15 minutes until water is reduced.
Peel the potatoes (if you hadn’t done so already) and place them in a large bowl. Mash away. Chop up the chipotle peppers and add them to the potatoes. It’s good if some adobo sauce stays on them. Add the cilantro and combine it all together.
Divide bean mixture and mashed sweet potatoes evenly between the tortillas add cheese and roll the tortillas. Place them on a greased baking sheet
Top with cheese. Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, and serve, topped with salsa and/or sour cream.
Optional: I personally think they are just great straight from the skillet with a little cheese and no baking. Either way these are great.
