Sweet Potato Burritos

First, I have to thank my good friend, Kelly, for this awesome recipe. I have to admit, I was a little skeptical at first about putting sweet potatoes in a burrito; however, these were delicious and and the sweet potatoes made for a really flavorful, interesting twist on a burrito.

Ingredients:
-1 TBSP EVOO
-3/4 C onion, diced
-2 cloves garlic, minced
-2 cans of beans (you can use any kind, I did 1 can kidney and 1 can white)
-1/2 C water
-1.5 TBSP chili powder
-1 tsp cumin
-2 tsp mustard
-dash of cayenne, or more to taste
-1.5 TBSP soy sauce
-2 sweet potatoes, mashed
-6 large flour tortillas
-2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
-chopped cilantro and green onion (optional)

Steps:
(Preheat oven to 350 degrees)
1. Heat oil in a medium skillet, and saute onion and garlic until soft. Stir in beans, and mash.

2. Gradually stir in water, and heat until warm. Remove from heat, and stir in the chili powder, cumin, mustard, cayenne pepper and soy sauce.
3. Divide bean mixture and mashed sweet potatoes evenly between the flour tortillas. Top with cheese (save 1 cup for using on the top of the burritos). Fold up tortillas burrito style, and place in a pan sprayed with Pam.

4. Bake for 9 minutes.
5. Pull out and top with remaining one cup cheese. Broil until the top of the cheese is melted, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Top with cilantro and green onion and serve.
