- RICE:
- Cook the rice according to package directions until tender (using the required amount of liquid either broth or water).
- Drain, then fluff with a fork and let it rest with the lid closed while you make the rest of the fillings.
- MASHED SWEET POTATOES:
- Boil the sweet potatoes until very tender, then mash or whip with the butter.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- SPICY BLACK BEANS:
- In a bowl, mix the beans with the lemon juice and seasonings.
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-low heat.
- Cook the onions, garlic and green chili pepper about 2-3 minutes until soft.
- Add the bean mixture and warm through.
- BURRITO ASSEMBLY:
- Layer the warm ingredients down the center of each tortilla in this order: cheese, rice, beans, sweet potatoes.
- Fold the tortilla at the top and bottom of the filling in, rotate and roll the burrito up so that all the ends are closed.
- Place it on the baking tray seam side down.
- Brush with vegetable oil and place under the broiler until crispy and golden brown on top.
- This took about 15-20 minutes in my oven.
- I serve with sour cream mixed with 1 teaspoon of ground coriander or chopped fresh cilantro!
