Sweet Potato and Black Bean Burritos

I try and make at least two vegetarian meals a week to lower our meat consumption and this weekend I made these great sweet potato and black bean burritos. They were filling, low calorie, tasty and got the husband approval...which is always a plus! 



Ingredients:

1 sweet potato - chopped
1 jalapeƱo - chopped
1 bell pepper - chopped
1/2 onion - chopped
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder
Pinch of salt and pepper
1/2 can black beans
2 tsp olive oil
1/4 cilantro - chopped
Splash of lime juice
Reduced fat cheddar cheese
Whole wheat tortillas

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees
Mix all the raw veggies together with spices and olive oil and place on a baking sheet. Place in oven for 20 minutes, tossing halfway through.



Once done roasting - mix veggies with black beans, cilantro and lime juice.

Warm your wheat tortillas or wraps in microwave according to directions on package. Spray a casserole dish with nonstick spray or olive oil spray.

Add two heaping tablespoons of vegetable and bean mixture to center of wrap. Top with shredded cheese. Fold over, fold in sides, place in pan and continue to roll the others. Place into your baking dish, seam side down so that they stay together.

Bake in 375 degree oven for about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Baking this way will make the tortilla wrap crisp. For a softer burrito, spray burrito with nonstick spray, then wrap in aluminum foil and bake for same amount of time.
