How to Make Addictive Sweet Potato Burritos

My mother-in-law came up with the recipe years ago, and thought I'd share. It's a little different than most burrito recipes, but that's what makes it special.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 3 tsp vegetable oil
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 6 cups cooked kidney beans, rinsed and drained
• 2 cups water
• 3 tbsp chili powder
• 2 tsp ground cumin
• 4 tsp prepared mustard
• A pinch of cayenne
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 4 cups cooked sweet potatoes, mashed
• 12 (10 inch) flour tortillas, warmed
• 8 oz shredded Cheddar cheese

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Heal oil in a medium skillet. Saute onion and garlic until soft. Add the beans and mash together thoroughly.

3. Gradually stir in water and heat until warm. Remove from heat and stir in the chili powder, cumin, mustard, cayenne, and soy sauce.

4. Divide bean mixture and mashed sweet potatoes evenly between the warm flour tortillas. Top with cheese, and fold tortillas up - burrito style.

5. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes.

6. Bon appetit!
