Another fave from "La Dolce Vegan!"
Makes 4 large burritos - I can only eat 1/2 at a time! They also freeze well.
2 medium sweet potatoes (~4 cups), diced
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 T olive oil
1 19-oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 c vegetable stock
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 T chili powder
2 t ground mustard
1 t ground cumin
1/2 t salt
4 large flour tortillas
1/4 c salsa
In a large pot of salted water, boil the sweet potatoes. While sweet potatoes are cooking, in a medium saucepan on medium heat, saute the onions in oil until translucent. Add the black beans, stock, garlic, chili powder, mustard, cumin, and salt; simmer, uncovered, over medium-high heat for 15 minutes. Drain water from sweet potatoes; return sweet potatoes to pot and mash with a potato masher. Set aside. Once bean mixture is done, mash with potato masher and set aside. Take 4 tortilla shells and lay on counter. Spread out onto each tortilla: 1 T salsa, 1/4 of the sweet potatoes, and 1/4 of the beans. Roll up each burrito and serve as is, or bake in oven until crisp.

hmmm ... I wonder what this would taste like if I used regular potatoes and refried beans. When I was a kid we used to eat these cheap frozen burritos with those ingredients and I loved them. Then again, I also liked eating cold hot dogs, and milk mixed with Kool-Aid.
Thanks for the recipe post, wish there were more new ones being posted these days!

Hmmm... I don't think that would taste as good! The sweetness of the sweet potatoes is the perfect accompaniment to the black beans. These are definitely my favorite burritos!
I can relate with the cold hot dogs, but can't say I ever mixed milk and Kool-Aid!
