Baked sweet potato black bean chipotle burritos

I wouldn't call this a recipe-- it's more like a flavor combination that's more than the sum of its parts. Black beans and sweet potato are amazing together. You can stick with the basics, or add complements like corn, peppers, tomatoes, spinach... the list goes on. Since I had poblano peppers from the garden, I fire-roasted them to add in. Usually I use whole black beans, but this time I only had refried and it was great. Time to clean out the fridge and make burritos!

Ingredients

• olive oil
• 1 medium sweet potato (the orange kind), chopped
• 1/2 medium onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, pressed or diced
• 1 can of black beans (whole or refried)

• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1/2 tsp coriander
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 lime
• 4 tortillas (corn or other gluten-free)
• 2 C cooked rice
• *1/4 C cilantro, chopped
• *1 fire-roasted poblano pepper, chopped
• 1/2 large red pepper, chopped
• *1 C crumbled tempeh bacon
• *2 C raw spinach
• *1 C cheeze (I used the orange Daiya)

*optional

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 F. Put about 1 tsp olive oil on a baking sheet, toss sweet potato til coated. Bake for 15 minutes then set aside.
• Fire-roast the pepper if you haven't yet. Here's how.
• Saute onion in olive oil over medium heat, about 5 minutes. Add garlic.
• Add spices, salt, black beans, sweet potato, and other optional veg: tempeh, corn, peppers, etc. Cook for about 5 min, turn off heat and add lime juice and cilantro if using.
• Fill each tortilla with 1/2 C rice, a quarter of the black bean & sweet potato mix, 1/2 C spinach, and 1/4 C cheeze.
• You can use the same, already-oiled baking sheet from roasting the sweet potato-- roll up burritos, using a toothpick to hold them closed if needed. Sometimes I spray them with a little bit of oil for better browning. Bake at 350 F for 15 minutes. Eat with your favorite salsa. I suggest roasted tomatillo!
