Ingredients:
- 3 onions
- 1 garlic clove
- 4 cans of kidney beans
- 6 cups water
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 3 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons prepared mustard
- 4 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 3 cups mashed sweet potatoes
- 4 10-inch flour tortillas
- 12 ounces cheddar cheese
- Sour cream (optional)
- Chopped green onion (optional)
- Salsa (optional)
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Saute onions and garlic: In a medium skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Saute onions and garlic until soft and fragrant.
-
Prepare bean mixture: Stir in the canned kidney beans and mash them using a fork or potato masher.
-
Add water: Gradually pour in the water and continue heating until the mixture is warm and well combined.
-
Season bean mixture: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, prepared mustard, cayenne pepper, and soy sauce. Ensure the flavors are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
-
Assemble burritos: Divide the bean mixture and mashed sweet potatoes evenly among the warm flour tortillas. Spread them out in the center of each tortilla.
-
Add cheese (optional): Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the bean and sweet potato mixture for added flavor and creaminess.
-
Fold tortillas: Fold up the tortillas burrito-style by folding the bottom edge over the filling, then folding in the sides, and rolling tightly to enclose the filling completely.
-
Bake burritos: Place the assembled burritos seam-side down on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes, or until the tortillas are slightly crispy and the cheese is melted.
-
Serve: Once baked, remove the burritos from the oven and serve them hot with optional toppings such as sour cream, chopped green onions, and salsa.
