Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potato (1 med sweet potato = ~250g)
- 1 onion
- 2 clove garlic
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 can tomatoes, diced (15oz / 425g)
- 1 tsp cumin, ground
- 1 tsp paprika powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1.5 cups (235 g) black beans, cooked ~1 can, 15oz/425g (~230g drained)
- 1 avocado
- 4 wholegrain wraps (use regular if you prefer them)
- 1 lime
- 1 cup (240 g) low fat Greek yogurt (~2%)
Optional
- 1 handful cilantro/coriander, fresh (or fresh parsley)
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 200°C/400°F
- Slice the sweet potatoes in half and roast them in the oven until tender (about 45 mins).
- If you need to save time you can microwave the sweet potatoes. Cut them in half and cook for about 6-8 minutes, until the middles are soft.
- Finely slice the onion and chop the garlic.
- Heat up a pan and add the olive oil, onion and garlic and fry for a coupe of minutes.
- Fry for another minute or so then add the diced tomatoes and leave to simmer on a low-medium heat for 10 minutes. Add the cumin, paprika, salt, pepper and oregano about halfway through. Add a little hot water if it needs it to stop it sticking.
- Drain and rinse the black beans and add to pan, simmering for another ten minutes.
- Peel, de-stone and thinly slice the avocado.
- The sweet potatoes should be ready now too - it’s time to make our burritos!
- Scoop out the sweet potato “mash” from their peels, take out a wrap, layer some of the potato and spread with a fork.
- Add the tomato/bean mix and avocado slices down the middle of the burrito.
- Now garnish with Greek yogurt, lime juice and cilantro.
- Repeat with each burrito.
- Roll, and cook in a large pan for a 30 secs - 1 minute on each side. Tip for families: use the oven instead. Place the burrito in the oven for 3-5 minutes on 200°C/400°F.
- When they’re done, you’re done!
