Black Bean and Sweet Potato Burrito

Servings 4 people

Ingredients

  • 1 can black beans drained
  • 1 clove garlic crushed
  • ½ yellow onion diced
  • 1 T olive oil
  • 1 T cumin
  • 1/4 t salt or more to taste
  • 1 large sweet potato
  • 1 T olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 large whole wheat tortillas or 4 small ones
  • Tomatoes grated cheddar cheese, avocado, and any other garnishes

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a small pot over medium heat and add the onion, sautéing until translucent and fragrant. Add the garlic and cumin and cook for another 60 seconds, then add the beans and salt.
  3. Let simmer for about 10 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside.
  4. Slice the sweet potato widthwise into ½” slices (no need to peel, unless you want to). Brush each side with olive oil and lay the slices on a baking sheet.
  5. Bake the sweet potato slices for around 30-40 minutes or until browned and tender, turning once. You can also make these on the BBQ, using indirect heat.
  6. To assemble the burritos, lay a wrap on a flat surface and layer the beans and cooked sweet potato slices. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and any other desired toppings. Fold both ends of the wrap up, then roll the wrap from one side to the other.
  7. You can also send your kid with a deconstructed burrito - place the hot black beans into a thermos with the other ingredients in the lunchbox. Your kid can assemble the burrito at lunchtime!
  8. For kids, a serving is ½ of a large wrap or 1 small wrap!
