Addictive Sweet Potato Burritos


When I heard from my roommate that she was making sweet potato burritos I was a little hesitant and not sure how I was going to like them...but they turned out being really good. I was even disappointed when I came home the next day and there were no leftovers to eat for dinner. I love that my taste buds are changing and that I'm becoming more willing to try other things that when I was younger I would have never even given a chance. I'm learning that sweet potatoes are a great starter also and that you can do many things with them.
Recipe came from All Recipes
A blog that I read added this today...looks super yummy too! Sweet Potato Burrito
