Directions
- Wash and dry all fresh produce.
- Dice the onion and bell pepper into small pieces, and mince the cilantro leaves after removing the stems.
- Heat a large pot over medium heat and swirl in a little oil to coat the bottom.
- Add the onion and bell pepper to the pot and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 3–4 minutes.
- Peel and dice the sweet potato, then add it to the pot along with the broth; bring to a boil and simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 10 minutes.
- Drain and rinse the black beans in a colander and set aside to drain further.
- Grate the cheddar and finely chop the cilantro leaves.
- When the potatoes are tender, drain the vegetables, return them to the pot on low heat, then stir in the beans, cheddar, cilantro, yogurt, and spices; remove from heat.
- Warm the tortillas on a flat surface, divide the filling between them, fold in the sides, and roll tightly.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add oil and swirl to coat. Place the burritos seam-side down and cook 2–3 minutes per side until the shells are golden and crisp, then remove and cut in half to serve.
Two tips
- Prep the onion, pepper, and cilantro ahead of time and store chilled to speed assembly.
- Serve with a dollop of yogurt and extra cilantro on top, or wrap in an additional tortilla for a sturdier burrito.
