V,
This is one of my most favorite recipes I know it by heart and it’s timely for Thanksgiving. I have a well-worn cookbook at home (the cover is torn off) I will try to look for it’s original name. I adore it and many vegetarians have told me it’s like a bible to them. Not for information on being a Veg. but for cooking – I am more like you, I don’t cook meat but I will eat it if someone serves it to me.
1 tablespoon vegetable oil – I use olive oil
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
6 cups canned kidney beans, drained – I use Cannelini Beans White
2 cups water
3 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
4 teaspoons prepared mustard
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
3 tablespoons soy sauce – I use Braggs *Braggs is GREAT!*
4 cups cooked and mashed sweet potatoes
12 (10 inch) flour tortillas, warmed
8 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C)
Heat oil in a medium skillet, and saute onion and garlic until soft. Stir in beans, and mash (I don’t mash the beans I like it chunky) Gradually stir in water cook until warm. Remove from heat, and stir in the chili powder, cumin, mustard, cayenne pepper and soy sauce.
Divide bean mixture and mashed sweet potatoes evenly between the warm flour tortillas (I fold ingredients together). Top with cheese. Fold up tortillas burrito style, and place on a baking sheet.
Bake for 12 minutes in the preheated oven, and serve
*** My friends also like to add chopped onion, chopped jalapenos, chopped raw spinach, hot sauce, inside the burrito that is.
