Ingredients for Sweet Potato Black Bean

Gather these items:

6 low carb or low calorie tortillas or wraps
2 medium sweet potatoes
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained

1/3 cup of your favorite salsa
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
2 cups AllWhites® 100% liquid egg whites

How to Make Sweet Potato Black Bean Step-by-Step

Step 1: Pierce sweet potatoes with a fork several times. Microwave on high for 4-6 minutes or until cooked through. Alternatively, roast in the oven at 400°F for 45 minutes. Once cooked, peel and mash sweet potatoes with a fork in a medium bowl; set aside.
Step 2: In a large bowl, combine rinsed black beans with cumin and chili powder. Stir well to mix the spices throughout, then set aside.
Step 3: Spray a skillet with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium-low. Pour in egg whites and cook, folding gently every few minutes to create fluffy eggs. Once cooked through, remove from heat.
Step 4: Warm tortillas in the microwave for 10-20 seconds to make them more pliable for rolling.
Step 5: Lay out warm tortillas and evenly spread mashed sweet potato on each. Distribute cooked egg whites, diced avocado, spiced black beans, and drizzle about 2 tablespoons of salsa on each. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Fold in ends and roll up burritos tightly.
Step 6: To warm assembled burritos, place them on a baking sheet in an oven preheated to 300°F for 5-10 minutes or microwave for 1-2 minutes. Serve with sour cream, Greek yogurt, extra salsa, or hot sauce as desired.
