Sweet Bean Burritos

Okay, I have been begging my sister for this recipe! She has made this dish for us quite a few times now... and each time, it just keeps getting better! It is incredibly delicious and so filling... and super healthy! It is perfect in it's simplicity!

Sweet Bean Burritos

Serves 6

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion - chopped
3 cloves garlic - pressed
2 cans black beans - drained
2 medium sweet potatoes - cooked and mashed
1 teaspoon cumin
6 whole wheat flour tortillas
6 tablespoons cilantro
6 tablespoons low-fat cheddar cheese

In a skillet, heat oil over medium high heat and cook onions and garlic until soft.  Add beans, stir in the mashed potatoes, add cumin and mix well.

Heat tortillas and spoon bean mixture inside. Add cilantro and cheese, roll up burrito-style, and serve.

Make these burritos for dinner... use the left-overs as breakfast burritos... or treat yourself to burritos for lunch! The sweet potato and black bean mix tastes great as a side dish, as well! Thanks, Lisa!
