How to Make Sweet Potato And Black Bean Burrito

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 lb sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed, with 1 tsp salt and enough water to cover.
  3. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  4. While sweet potatoes cook, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced.
  5. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are tender, about 7 minutes.
  6. Stir in 1 tsp ground cumin and 1 tsp ground coriander. Cook for 2-3 minutes more.
  7. Remove from heat and set aside.
  8. In a food processor, combine 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained, 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1/2 tsp salt, and the cooked sweet potatoes. Puree until smooth.
  9. Transfer the sweet potato mixture to a large bowl. Stir in the cooked onions and spices.
  10. Lightly oil a large baking dish.
  11. Spoon about 2/3 to 3/4 cup of the filling into the center of each of 10-12 large flour tortillas (10-12 inch).
  12. Roll up tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  13. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes, or until heated through and slightly crispy.
  14. Serve immediately, topped with your favorite salsa and a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional).
