You won't even miss the meat when it's substituted with sautéed sweet potatoes. It's filling, fiber-rich and plays well with creamy black beans. Also, crisping the outside of each burrito may seem unnecessary, but it’s definitely well worth the effort.
This burrito might surprise you with its sweetness, but at the same time spices offer a savory balance to the cinnamon. Using whole wheat tortillas can complete the wrap the healthy way by keeping you fuller, longer.These burritos freeze well too.
