Last night at 10 pm I pulled out my crockpot to make a batch of these slow-cooker black beans. I had just opened the Roxbury Farm CSA newsletter and read we would be getting sweet potatoes today, which made me instantly crave these black bean and sweet potato burritos.
The beans (which ended up being pintos) simmered slowly all night, and I awoke to earthy smells and perfectly cooked beans. Today for lunch I made the filling, a mix of sautéed onions, grated sweet potatoes, spices and cilantro, and then, instead of making a burrito, I made a bowl: a mix of shredded Romaine, the beans, grated Cheddar, sour cream, and lots of fresh lime.
About this time of year every year, this is one of my favorite recipes to make. I think this is partly because it's the recipe that got me to like sweet potatoes — with lots of fresh lime, spices, and herbs, sweet potatoes brighten right up and don't taste at all ... well... too sweet!
The original recipe was passed along to me from a longtime vegetarian friend of my aunt, and I am so grateful for it because it is so versatile. Use it in quesadillas, burritos, bowls, etc. It also makes a fantastic breakfast taco: scramble some eggs, fry up the filling, tuck it all inside a warm tortilla with cheese and hot sauce. I hope you love it as much as I do.
Here's the filling used in a quesadilla:
And here it is in a burrito: Sweet Potato & Black Bean Burritos

PS: The Roxbury Farm CSA newsletter shared two promising looking recipes:
- Sweet Potato Chana Masala, which made me wonder if I could just add cubed sweet potatoes to these Spicy Chickpeas with Tomatoes and Kale, which I love and which remind me of chana masala.
- Green Beans with Sesame Sauce: This is from Saveur, and the sauce looks tasty.
