Spicy Sweet Potato-Bean Burrito

[jenniferhughes]

I LOVE this dish!! AWESOME!
Freeze before baking and then heat and eat anytime!
I serve mine with jalapenos.
OH and if you don't have any soy sauce on hand, just remember to add a tiny bit of salt it makes a huge difference.

Just reading about these burritos made me hungry.
But I didn't have sweet potatos on hand tonight!
Instead I made a "green burrito" version. I boiled some split peas and lentils and lightly mashed those with the onion, mustard and spices, then baked. Turned out well.

This is really good. I made a half batch b/c I am not usually a huge fan of sweet potatoes, but they were perfect in these burritos. I used pinto and black beans b/c that was all I had and they were fine, even mashed together. I also added tons of crushed red pepper and more cumin and chili powder, and lime juice instead of soy sauce. Very tasty, filling and hearty. Thanks!

Wow these were delicious! I subbed Bragg's Liquid Aminos for the soy sauce. I used Ezekial brand sprouted tortillas. I am drooling just thinking about having the leftovers for lunch today They take a bit of time but they are sooooooo worth it! I used 2 19-oz cans of kidney beans and 1 19-oz can of garbanzo beans. My stomach can't handle lots of spice so I only used 1 tbs of chili powder. This still had tons of flavor and was absolutely delicious. Thanks for the recipe!

Well, I like sweet potatoes, and I like burritos, so I figured I'd give these a try and feed them to a suspicious omni as well. They're quite tasty!

Pros: the texture/flavor combo is lively and flavorful in your mouth - the sweet potato vs. the bean mixture works incredibly well. The green onions/scallions give it just the right bit of "fresh" in your mouth. Baking the burritos at the end gives the tortillas a nice "crunch" contrast to the smushy filling.

Cons: it really does take a while to make these - I hope they freeze well. Also, although they're entitled "Spicy Burritos," they're really not spicy at all.If you used red pepper instead of chili pepper, they would be, but I don't like really hot spice, so it was fine for me.

Alterations: I halved the recipe and it made 7 burritos (now what do I do with that last tortilla?), so we ate four, and three are in the freezer - I'll report back on those. I also topped off with Tofutti sour cream which really made them rock!

These burritos are amazing!  I added spinach to the mashed up, warm sweet potatoes to add more nutritional value.  I froze them overnight, took one out this morning and just cooked it in the microwave for 3 minutes and ate it for lunch.  This is a keeper!
