Black Bean Veggie Burritos

These were so yummy. I will definitely make them again.

1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-in. cubes
1 medium onion, finely chipped
1 Tbsp. water
1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup frozen corn
1 medium green pepper, chopped
2 Tbsp. lemon juice
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 Tbsp. chili powder
2 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. ground cumin
8 whole wheat tortillas (8 in.) warmed
2 cups (8 oz.) shredded Monterrey Jack cheese
1/2 cup fat-free plain yogurt
1/2 cup salsa

1. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the sweet potato, onion and water. Cover and microwave on high for 4-5 minutes or until potato is almost tender. Stir in the beans, corn, green pepper, lemon juice, garlic and seasonings.

2. Spoon a heaping 1/4 cup filling on center of each tortilla. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup cheese. Fold sides and ends over filling and roll up.

3. Place seam side down in a 13-in x 9-in baking dish coated with cooking spray. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until heated through. Serve with yogurt and salsa.
