I wish I could remember which magazine I found this recipe in. I know I was in the dentist’s office, waiting for my child to appear with gleaming teeth. Since I love sweet potatoes and black beans, it caught my eye and I quickly scribbled it on the back of a scrap piece of paper.
My 15 year-old daughter has been a vegetarian for 3 years, so I am always on the look-out for yummy vegetarian meals that would appeal to her. She gave this dinner a thumbs up!

Serve in tortilla with optional add-ons.
I made this using a La Tortilla Factory Smart and Delicious Wrap (3 WW pts+) and added lettuce, chopped tomato, a Tbsp. of Fage 0% greek yogurt and a splash of Siriacha Hot Sauce for a total of 8 pts+. Delicious!
p.s. this burrito was my husbands, so there is added avocado
