Vegetarian Recipe #1 of 10

Whenever I go to workshops/ conferences for work, they always seem to have the same lunch - but I am totally okay with that because it is SO good! I had the same lunch as last Monday (black bean, chicken, rice enchilada, with an excellent salad).

I snacked on this bar before lunch because my stomach was growling so loud I think the people down the hall heard it:



Dinner tonight was the 1st of 10 vegetarian recipes I am going to try this month!

Sweet Potato Burritos

• Boil and mash 1 large sweet potato

• Put 1 tsp oil in a pan and sauté 1/2 chopped onion & 2 cloves garlic until soft

• Add 2 cups red kidney beans and mash them
• Then add 2/3 cup water and warm

• Remove from heat and add 1 T chili powder, 1 tsp cumin, 1 1/2 tsp prepared mustard, pinch cayenne, 1 T soy sauce - Stir

• Mix 1 1/2 cups of the mashed sweet potato into the bean mixture - stir well
  

• Grate a pile of cheese (old cheddar)

• Fill warm tortillas with a sprinkle of cheese and a couple tablespoons of the mixture
• Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes

• Eat

I was SHOCKED by how good these were! I am very impressed with this recipe. These burritos were Waaaaaaaay better than I expected them to be - they were in fact delicious! I will absolutely make these again. They are simple, healthy, and easy - oh and 100% vegetarian!

I had 2.

I did some work after dinner, and now I am going to watch TV with the hubby and have a giant bowl of steamed cauliflower for a snack :-)

What is your favorite thing to snack on when you watch TV? Me, I love veggies!
