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
1 large sweet potato (1.5 cups mashed)
1 tsp oil
1/2 white onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups white or red kidney beans
1/2 - 2/3 cup warm water
1 T chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1.5 tsp mustard
pinch cayenne powder
1 T soy sauce
grated cheese (I usually use old cheddar)
tortilla wraps, any colour
Peel,
boil and mash the sweet potato. Put the oil in a tall-sided pan and
heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until soft. Add the beans and
mash them in the pan. Add the water and warm. Remove from heat and add
the spices, mustard, and soy sauce. Stir. Mix in the sweet potato and
stir. Fill the wraps with the grated cheese and warm bean/sweet potato
mixture and wrap. Bake at 375 F for 15 minutes. Enjoy!
* For kids (or kid-like adults) put a little extra cheese. It is so good in there!
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 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!
