Sweet Potato & Black Bean Burritos


I think my last post was about "the most delicious idea ever" ... this one beats it. Whatever it was. Maybe pizza burritos? Maybe I need a burrito blog. Tortillas are just so much delicious.





Anyway, this recipe is modified slightly from this Tasty Kitchen post. It's a quick throw together as we get into that spring and summertime sort of busy and perfect for a cool evening.


Ingredients
1 large sweet potato, cubed to 1/2"
1 jalapeno, diced
1/2 red pepper, diced
1/4 - 1/2 c red onion, diced (so many people LOVE or HATE onion, so it's up to you. I used about 1/4c)
1-2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
salt and pepper to taste
1 15oz can black beans, rinsed and drained
1/3 c chopped kale
1/3 c chopped spinach
juice from one lime

Directions:
Toss veggies with oil and spices & roast in oven at 425 degrees for 20 minutes, stirring halfway.

Remove and let cool slightly.

Stir in black beans, juice and greens.

Layer on tortilla with your choice of toppings (salsa, sour cream, cheese, etc) (I recommend Monterrey Jack cheese!).

That's it! We used smaller tortillas and had enough for about 6 servings.

It warms up well with an egg for breakfast the next morning as well.
