Spinach, Sweet Potato & Black Bean Burritos
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 whole Medium Sweet Potato, Peeled And Cubed
- 1 whole Jalapeno Or Poblano Pepper, Chopped (optional)
- 1/2 whole Medium Red Onion, Chopped
- 15- 1/2 ounces, weight Canned Black Beans, Drained And Rinsed
- 1 Tablespoon Chopped Chipotle Peppers In Adobo From A Can (more If You Like It Spicy)
- 1 bunch Baby Spinach, Rinsed And Coarsely Chopped
- 6 ounces, weight Monterey Jack Cheese, Coarsely Grated (use Your Favorite Cheese Here Or Omit If Vegan)
- 2 dashes Kosher Salt And Pepper To Taste
- 6 Tablespoons Salsa, To Top
- 6 Tablespoons Sour Cream Or Plain Greek Yogurt, To Top
- 6 teaspoons Cilantro, Chopped, To Top
- 6 slices Avocado, To Top
- Heat half of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sweet potato, jalapeno/poblano, onion and a dash of salt.
- Cover the skillet and cook until sweet potato is tender, about 10 -12 minutes.
- Stir the mixture a few times while cooking.
- Add the beans and chipotles.
- Mix until incorporated and warmed through, about 2 minutes.
- Add the spinach and toss until spinach just starts to wilt.
- Add a couple dashes of salt and pepper.
- Remove from heat.
- Form the burritos.
- Lay the tortillas flat and add a handful of cheese and a scoop of the potato mixture to each tortilla.
- Roll them up to form burritos.
- For good burrito rolling technique, I tuck the corner edges in tightly with each roll.
- Over medium heat in a skillet or flat stove top griddle sprayed with cooking spray, toast the burritos with the seam-side down until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Then flip to brown the other side which should take 1-2 minutes.
- Top with salsa, sour cream/yogurt, cilantro and/or avocado.
- These are best eaten immediately, but do very well frozen.
- I usually freeze them before toasting each side then defrost them and toast them before eating.
