Sweet Potato and Black Bean Burritos

I love these burritos!  They solve my daily what to eat for lunch dilemma.  They are healthy and flavorful!  I make up the filling and keep it in the fridge for lunches.  I usually just microwave the filling and wrap it up in a tortilla.  Occasionally I will crisp it up in a skillet or the oven.  I found the recipe on Tasty Kitchen via pinterest.

Ingredients

• 2 whole Sweet Potatoes, Peeled And Cubed Small (3-4 cups)
• 2 whole Jalapenos Diced (1 is fine)
• 1 whole Red Pepper, Diced Small
• 1 whole Red Onion, Diced Small
• 2 teaspoons Olive Oil
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
• 1 pinch Salt And Pepper
• 1 can Black Beans, Rinsed And Drained (15 Ounce Can)
• ½ cups Fresh Cilantro, Chopped
• 2 teaspoons Fresh Lime Juice
• 2 cups Shredded Cheddar (or Monterrey Jack)
• Wheat or flour tortillas

Preparation Instructions

In a bowl, toss your raw veggies in olive oil and season with spices. Place in a large baking dish and roast in 425 degree oven for 20 minutes, tossing around halfway through.

Let cool. Add your roasted veggies to a can of rinsed black beans. Add cilantro and squirt of lime juice. Combine gently. At this point, mixture can be stored for later use.

Warm your wheat tortillas or wraps in microwave according to directions on package. Spray a casserole dish with nonstick spray or olive oil spray.

Add two heaping tablespoons of vegetable and bean mixture to center of wrap. Top with shredded cheese. Fold over, fold in sides, place in pan and continue to roll the others. Place into your baking dish, seam side down so that they stay together.

*Bake in 375 degree oven for about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Baking this way will make the tortilla wrap crisp. For a softer burrito, spray burrito with nonstick spray, then wrap in aluminum foil and bake for same amount of time.

*I typically skip these last few steps.  They are delicious if you  crisp them up in the oven, but it is not necessary.
