Sweet Potato and Bean Burritos
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Heat oil in a medium skillet. Cook and stir the onion and garlic in the hot oil until the onion is soft. Mash the beans into the onion mixture. Slowly stir in the water and heat until warm, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the soy sauce, chili powder, mustard, cumin, and cayenne pepper.

  3. 3

    Divide the bean mixture and mashed sweet potatoes evenly among the warm tortillas; sprinkle with cheese. Fold the tortillas burrito-style around the fillings and set them on a baking sheet.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, about 12 minutes.
