Ingredients:
- 6 large sweet potatoes (peeled and sliced)
- 2 tbsps extra virgin olive oil
- 2 medium yellow onion (diced)
- 4 garlic cloves (minced)
- 4 cups cooked black beans
- 1 cup fresh or frozen corn
- 1 green bell pepper (diced)
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup dijon mustard
- 2 tsps cumin
- 3 tbsps tamari
- 1/4 tsp sea salt (or more to taste)
- 10 brown rice tortillas (11 inches)
Directions:
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Place sweet potatoes in a steamer over boiling water and cover. Let steam for 7 minutes, or until tender. Mash with a potato masher.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium skillet and sauté the onion and garlic until soft. Set aside.
- In a bowl, add black beans and mash with a potato masher. Mix in the sauteed onion and garlic, corn, bell pepper, water, mustard, cumin and tamari until thoroughly combined. Season with salt as needed.
- Divide the mashed sweet potato and black bean mixture evenly between the tortillas and fold into burritos.
- If eating immediately, heat the burritos in the oven at 350oF for 10 to 12 minutes or until warmed through. Wrap the remaining burritos in foil and freeze in a freezer-safe bag. See notes section for instructions on how to reheat.
Notes:
- Reheat in the oven at 350oF for 30 minutes from frozen (or less if already defrosted), then unwrap and return to the oven for another 10-15 minutes for a crispy wrap (optional).
- Reheat in the microwave by removing the foil from defrosted burritos and microwaving for 1 to 2 minutes (times will vary depending on the power of your microwave).
- Make it spicy by adding more chilli powder, cayenne pepper, hot sauce and/or sliced jalapeno.
- Serve them with Greek yogurt, sour cream, feta cheese, tomatoes, avocado and/or salsa.
- If you don’t have brown rice tortillas, you can use any type of tortilla instead.
- You can use refried beans to save yourself some time.
