sweet potato burritos

i've been using my slow cooker a lot. i mean, a lot a lot. like, three or four times a week. it's hot. i hate hot weather. i mean, i REALLY hate hot weather. i'm all for whatever it takes to get out of actually having to cook anything. i'd even survive on a diet of cold cereal and popsicles during the summer months. my nerd, and the nerd baby, however, require actual sustenance. thus, the slow cooker is my new bff.




sweet potato and bean burritos

2 small sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into small cubes
1 red bell pepper, seeds removed and diced
1 small red onion, or half a medium red onion, diced
1 can green chile's
1 can whole black beans
1 can whole pinto beans
1 teaspoon chili powder (or to taste)
1 teaspoon cumin
shredded cheddar (optional! this meal can be totally vegan if you leave out the cheese!)
tortillas
avocado, lime and cilantro for garnish

in a slow cooker combine sweet potatoes, bell peppers, onion, chile's, and both cans of beans. set slow cooker to low and cook for 6-8 hours. fill tortillas and brown in a skillet with a teensy bit of olive oil. garnish with avocado, cilantro and lime.
