Shaker Gourmet: Sweet Potato Bean Burritos

Our recipe this week comes from Shaker Ezekiel!

Sweet Potato Bean Burritos

Bean Mixture:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cans black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup water
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
3 tablespoons soy sauce

Sweet Potato Mixture:
4 medium sweet potatoes, cooked
2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce OR 2 jalapeños
1/4 c fresh cilantro

12 whole wheat tortillas
4 ounces shredded Mexican cheese
4-6 oz cheddar cheese to top burritos

DIRECTIONS

--Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

--Heat oil in a medium skillet, and sauté onion and garlic until soft. Stir in beans and water, and heat until warm. Stir in the chili powder,cumin, and soy sauce. Let this bubble away while you get the sweet potatoes ready will cook for at least 15 minutes until water is reduced.

--Peel the potatoes (if you hadn’t done so already) and place them in a large bowl. Mash away. Chop up the chipotle peppers and add them to the potatoes. It’s good if some adobo sauce stays on them. Add the cilantro and combine it all together.

--Divide bean mixture and mashed sweet potatoes evenly between the tortillas add cheese and roll the tortillas. Place them on a greased baking sheet.

--Top with cheese. Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Serve,topped with salsa and/or sour cream.
