My friend Michelle shared this recipe with me years ago. She originally made it as a filling for quesadillas, but since I no longer eat cheese I decided to turn it into a burrito. If you’re into Daiya cheese, that might be pretty tasty, too.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups sweet potato
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 of an onion, diced
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tbs ground cumin
  • pinch of cayenne
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 flour tortillas
  • 1 large avocado, sliced
  • 1 large tomato, diced

Method

Step 1

Saute the onions and garlic in vegetable oil until the onions are translucent.

Step 2

Add grated sweet potatoes, chili powder, cumin and cayenne and let cook for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid sticking. When the sweet potato is tender, add salt and pepper and remove from heat.

Step 3

Add 1/4 filling to each tortilla, then add avocado and tomato and wrap it up.

    Yum! With a flax seed wrap and some black beans and sour cream, this is easily my favorite meal right now.

    My husband and I just made this and within 1 burrito he was full (and usually he has a hollow leg when it comes to eating!) I did decrease the amount of cumin because I hate the smell of it and I’m not a big fan of it’s taste, and I mixed some cream cheese in the mixture too! I’m also weird and topped it with ketchup in my burrito with some baby romaine and baby kale and cheddar cheese. :) Definitely something I’ll make again!
