Sweet Potato and Black Bean Burrito
Sweet Potato and Black Bean Burrito
Blog friends-
Here is another recipe from Bob Harper's book, The Skinny Rules (explained in last blog post). Just like the southwestern chicken with kale, this is also a really delicious recipe. It's also very hearty and had a very unique flavor. As you'll see from the ingredients below, it calls for cinnamon, cayenne, and cumin. An interesting combination, right? But, for some reason it really works! It has a sweet and spicy flavor in every bite. The recipe calls for tortillas and that is how we ate the sweet potato and black bean burrito, but you really could eat it without the tortilla or even put in a pizza as your pizza topping. If you decide to put it on as your pizza topping, let me know how it works out! I hope you'll give it a try. It couldn't be easier, and because the recipe is mostly spices, all you'll really need to buy is a sweet potato, tomato, onion, black beans, chicken, and tortillas. These are all simple ingredients that I would probably guess you use often to cook with or that you may have already in your pantry.
I hope you enjoy it! As I mentioned in the last post, be sure to multiply it accordingly since this recipe is for one serving only. :)
INGREDIENTS
Olive Oil spray
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 cup cubed (1/2-inch dice) sweet potato, unpeeled
3 ounces cooked chicken, shredded
1/4 cup low-sodium canned black beans, drained and rinsed
1 10-inch whole-wheat tortilla
DIRECTIONS
1. Spray a skillet with olive oil and heat over medium heat.
2. Add the onion and saute for about 5 minutes, until soft.
3. Add the spices and yam. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender, approximately 8-10 minutes. (Hint- Tom and I needed to cook the sweet potatoes for more like 15 minutes).
4. Mix in the tomato, chicken, and black beans and heat through.
5. Spoon in the tortilla and wrap like a burrito.
