Black Bean Sweet Potato Burritos




This is quite possibly the simplest recipe I've posted on yet. But I am a huge burrito fan, so here goes...

Chop up two large sweet potatoes & half an onion. Saute them just until tender in one tbsp oil, adding apple juice (or water) if they start to stick. Then add two cups of black beans, some cumin, & some cinnamon. Cook until heated. Then put into tortillas with some shredded cheddar cheese. Cover and bake at 350 for twenty-five minutes. Pretty easy, no?

If you want to cut down on the cook time, & eliminate the need for the oven, then just grate the sweet potatoes instead. This is also a great way to make sweet potato quesadillas. Personally, I think the sweet potato flavor comes out more when they are shredded & it makes this meal even quicker/easier. If you don't mind grating.

Garnish with plain yogurt (or sour cream), salsa (in this case homemade), & fresh cilantro (so good).

It was recently Sandy Denny week over at my favorite radio station, & this is one of my favorites by her: Fhir A Bhata
