Yummy Burritos and cookies!

Black Bean and Sweet Potato Burritos
2 tsp canola oil
1 c. chopped onion
2 garlic cloves
4 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp dried oregano
3/4 c. reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 med. sweet potato, peeled and diced (3 cups)
1 can mild green chile-seasoned diced tomatoes (undrained)
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
3/4 c. frozen corn (or not)
1/4 c. chopped fresh cilantro
1 TBSP fresh lime juice
pepper
whole wheat tortillas
cheese
sour cream

Heat oil in nonstick skillet  over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic, cumin, and oregano. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 10 to 20 seconds. Add broth and sweet potato. Bring to a simmer. Cover an cook for 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, beans, and corn. Return to a simmer. Cover and cook until the sweet potato is tender, 5 to 10 minutes longer. Mash about 1/4 of the vegetable mixture with a potato masher. Stir the mashed and unmashed portions together. Stir in the lime juice, cilantro, and pepper.

Heat Tortillas. Spoon 2/3 c. of the filling in tortilla. Sprinkle cheese. Serve with sour cream for dipping.

This burrito recipe is super tasty and is a winner wit all of my boys. For John I even mix a little plain yogurt instead of sour cream. This comes from my favorite recipe book, Magic Foods by Reader's Digest.

1/2 tsp baking powder (I think I put in a little more)
