Sweet Potato & Black Bean Burritos

I found this recipe originally on a site called RedKitchen.net. I don't think it's updated anymore.

Ingredients
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cans black beans
3 medium yams
2 tablespoons soy sauce
8 large tortillas
shredded cheddar cheese
chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt & pepper to taste

Directions
Microwave sweet potatoes so they are cooked all the way through (or you can roast them … depends on your time). Remove from skins and mash, season with salt & pepper to taste. Set aside.

Heat oil in a large pan and saute onions and garlic until soft. Gradually stir in black beans (including all of their liquid). Add soy sauce and seasonings to taste. Simmer until liquid is reduced and beans aren't runny.

Layer sweet potato, beans, and shredded cheddar in tortillas and roll up as burritos.

Bake for 12 minutes in a 350 degree oven.

Burritos can be individually wrapped and frozen.
