    • 4 ingredient Sweet Potato and Bean Burritos that you can make in your sleep

      well…not really in your sleep, but they are super easy. Sweet potato, beans, and cheese. Told you it was easy.

      The My Foodie Call family is in the process of moving out-of-state so all meals have to be fast and to the point. There are many ways you could fancy up this basic recipe, but here is what went down at this house tonight.

      Whole Wheat, Sweet Potato and Bean Burritos

      The ingredients

      • Whole wheat tortillas
      • 1 can of Refried beans (fat-free, no lard in this household)
      • 2 large sweet potatoes (or 3-4 small ones)
      • Shredded cheese of choice

      Step 1: Cook your sweet potato in your oven at 400 degrees. Let cool, peel from skins, and mash in a bowl. (I cooked roughly 1.5 pounds worth)

      Step 2: Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

      Step 3: Layering…

      First refried beans…

      Then your whopping dose of Vitamin A and fiber for the day…(your sweet potato)

      Next add your shredded cheese of choice. I did a mixture.

      Fold and roll, baby!

      I made 5 of these bad boys, but you could play around with the portions a bit. Kind of fool-proof.

      Step 4: Pop it in the oven for 15 minutes.

      End result.

      Dinner is served.

      Many optional add-ins. Black olives, salsa, sautéed peppers? But with that cheese blend? Keeping it simple works too….
