Mindy

Peaches

So it was a nice day to to stay inside and make

Addictive Sweet Potato

Burritos!!!
Picture
You likey?

And to show off my vintage Homer Laughlin dinner plates.

Don't ya love them and their pretty, fiesta, festive colors??!!


Picture
Well just in case you weren't smitten a second ago, are you smitten now with the close-up?

Huh?

Huh?

You want them, don't ya?

Well, you can't have them. Cuz I love them. Love.
LOVE them.
Not more than my kids or anything but they're right up there.
Picture
Also right up there on my love list are these
Addictive Sweet Potato Burritos.

Absolutely fantastic is what these are!

They don't look like much on a plate but they are exceedingly healthy, packed full of protein and beta carotene AND if you eat vegan, all you have to do is eliminate the cheese from the recipe!

Everybody who eats a bite is prepared to go "ewww" but instead they eat the whole thing and more! Kids love them too!



Sweet potatoes, black beans, spices AND cheese.
That's the way, uh huh, uh huh, I like it, uh huh, uh huh Duh.
Picture

So let's start with the fixins for these burritos.

By the way, you can eat these as a meal or just a snack. They are very filling.

And the directions are sooo simple.




First, microwave or bake your sweet potatoes until soft  and scoop them out and mash them.


Of course, chop up your onion and garlic and saute them until soft.
Picture

By the way, you need 6 cups of black beans, drained. 
That is four whole cans!

Fortunately I had four cans in my pantry because I did not think that 6 cups of beans was a whole total four cans.

Still, beans are pretty reasonable priced so that's cool. Also sweet potatoes are reasonable too. This is an economical meal really.

Anyway,

stir in

the

beans.

Picture
And mash them.

This takes a bit of time, a few minutes.

Just pretend like the beans are someone who said something really mean to you at sometime in your life and mash, mash, mash those suckers up!
MASH EM' TO A PULP! MASH 'EM!
Hehehe, who needs some therapy?

Picture


Gradually

stir in the

water and

heat until

warm.


Remove from heat and stir in  the chili powder, cumin, mustard, cayenne pepper and soy sauce.
Don't forget the soy sauce.




Picture

Get yer work station set up with the
black beans, mashed potatoes, cheese and tortillas.

BTW, I used whole wheat tortillas and they were great!




Don't be grossed out but I set all twelve tortillas out on the kitchen counter to fill each one evenly.
Divide the beans and the sweet potatoes between the twelve tortillas.




Picture


Shmush
the beans and the sweet potatoes down with a spoon and top evenly with the cheese.

Picture

Fold up the tortillas burrito style and place on a baking sheet.

These make an even dozen with 10" tortillas. Don't grease the sheet. Do NOT grease the sheet.

Folding these tortillas up was E-A-S-Y!

Bake for 12 minutes until lightly browned or warm.




Wanna see what they looked like after 12 minutes in the oven???!!!
Picture
That super crispy browned one on the lower right is mine. Get your hands off it!
Loverly.

That's what they looked like!!
Loverly.

And there ya have it.


These are fantastic!



I knew I would LOVE these.
Tim was more dubious....
However, after he took one bite, he ate the whole thing.
Plus another one!!!
Picture
Picture
See that steam coming off that top burrito half?
My teenage niece initially did not want to try one because she barely likes sweet potatoes she said.

I cut off a small bite for her. She was hesitant.

But after tasting it, she said "Give me the whole thing."

I asked her why she liked it and she said she liked the beans and the cheese and the sweet potato was soft and had a  sweet taste to it.




By the way, I have the cutest vintage pieces to set a quick Latin-inspired centerpiece with.
Picture



See this cute little Latin guy on a donkey??!!



He is carrying oil and vinegar condiment  canisters up on top and salt and pepper shakers on the bottom.





See the oil bag and the vinegar bags here down below?
And the little salt and peppers down below that?
See that face on the "V" and "O" canisters?
How funny!
Picture




How 'bout

this little

workhorse

donkey?



He's carrying little salt and pepper shakers.
I love how the salt bag on the right has a dollar sign running through it.
Picture

And this cute little donkey is missing his little salt and pepper shakers
I think.

Picture

He has two bags and nothing to put in them.

Kind of like alligators who have all them teeth but no toothbrush.

:):):)

Picture




And aren't these napkin holders so cool?

Okay, I won't bore ya'll anymore.

Seriously though, I just KNOW you will love those Addictive Sweet Potatoe Burritos.

Sounds good sister. I'm going to try them. Right on my diet plan. I can use the lower fat cheese. A nice variety from stir fry and more stir fry. I'll let you know. Did you top them with salsa? Just curious. LOL

You know Kim, these are supposed to be sided with sour cream, green onions and salsa. I forgot to mention that. I ate them plain because they have such full flavor but Tim sided them with salsa. Using a lower fat cheese is a great idea but make sure you use a full 12 ounces.
