Veggie Burritos

I am obsessed with this recipe! A friend recently made me these burritos that were full of veggies and had this flavor I couldn't quite put my finger on... I asked her how she made them and she said she just threw them together without a recipe. Upon further prompting, I discovered the magic ingredient was cinnamon! I tried my best to recreate what she made, and I think I did a darn good job! These are easy, portable, freezable, and very filling. I use a tortilla that my mom actually sends me from Minnesota because I can't find them anywhere here (pictured below). Try to find one with minimal ingredients that is low carb, low calorie, and high in fiber.




4 medium sweet potatoes
1 T Olive oil
Salt and pepper
1 can of black beans, rinsed and drained
12 ounce container salsa (I used a mild one with onions and cilantro, pictured)
2 avocados, peeled and cubed
2 C brown rice
1 t cinnamon
1 C shredded mozzarella
10-12 tortillas (see picture)

Directions:  Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Peel and cube sweet potatoes, drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste. Roast on a cookie sheet until tender, 20-30 minutes. Check and stir every 10 minutes to prevent burning.

Meanwhile, toss remaining ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add sweet potatoes once slightly cooled. Reduce oven heat to 350 degrees. Once everything is mixed (see picture - oooooo, colorful!) distribute about 1/2 C of mixture into one tortilla, roll and place seam-side down in baking dish. Repeat until gone (my batch made 11 burritos this time, I've gotten 12 before). Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through. I like to wrap these individually in foil and freeze. I grab one in the morning for my lunch and just reheat for 2 minutes.
