African Burritos

This is one of our favorites, Jeffrey's and mine, anyway. The kids aren't all that impressed, but we love the combination of flavors.

I adapted this recipe from a Pillsbury Bake-off recipe.

African Sweet Potato and Black Bean Burritos
Ingredients:
  • 1 T oil
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 3 T. chunky peanut butter
  • 1 t. cumin
  • ½ t. cinnamon

  • ¼ t. ground red pepper (cayenne)
  • 3 or 4 sweet potatoes, cooked, peeled and cut up
  • 1 (15 oz.) can black beans, drained
  • 6 (10-inch) flour tortillas
Toppings:
  • ¾ cup thick and chunky salsa or picante sauce
  • 6 T. sour cream

  • ¼ cup chopped green onions
  • 2 T chopped fresh cilantro

Directions:
  1. Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat until hot. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir 2 to 3 minutes or until tender.
  2. Stir in peanut butter, cumin, cinnamon and ground red pepper; mix well. Add sweet potatoes and beans; mash slightly. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 2 to 3 minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring occasionally.
  3. Meanwhile, heat tortillas according to package directions.
  4. To serve, spoon and spread scant 1/2 cup sweet potato mixture across center third of each tortilla. Top each with 2 tablespoons salsa, 1 tablespoon sour cream, 2 teaspoons green onions and 1 teaspoon cilantro; spread to cover sweet potato mixture. Fold sides of each tortilla 1 inch over filling. Fold bottom 1/3 of tortilla over filling; roll again to enclose filling.
