How to Make Sweet Bean Burritos

  2. Add 1 (15-ounce) can of black beans (rinsed and drained), 1 cup mashed cooked sweet potatoes, and 1 teaspoon ground cumin.
  3. Stir well to combine. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
  4. While the bean mixture simmers, warm 6-8 tortillas according to package directions. (Microwave, skillet, or oven).
  5. Fill each warm tortilla with approximately 1/2 cup of the sweet bean mixture and your desired amount of shredded cheese (e.g., cheddar, Monterey Jack).
  6. Fold and wrap the burritos tightly.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as salsa, sour cream, and optional cilantro.
