Make-Ahead Kale and Sweet Potato Burritos

July 27, 2016

Healthy and hearty Kale and Sweet Potato Burritos make the perfect make-ahead, stick-to-your-bones kind of meal. I love making these burritos Sunday evening for dinner and freezing the leftovers for lunches all week.

How’s your week going guys? It’s sweltering HOT here and I’m kind of obsessed with this gorgeous weather. J’s family is coming to visit and we had a full blown weekend of Summer organization here. I learned this folding technique and I went on an organizing rampage. Have you heard of it before? I am always looking for ways to make more space in our tiny apartment and this tip saved tons of closet space! And, as a plus, my closets are immaculate!!

Author: Ceara
Recipe type: Main
Serves: 12 burritos
Ingredients
  • 12 tortilla shells (10 inch)
  • 2 onions, diced
  • 5 garlic cloves,
  • ½ tbsp mustard powder
  • ½ tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp cumin powder
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • ¼ - ½ tsp cayenne pepper
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 can fire roasted green chilis (4 oz. can, I use Trader Joe's)
  • 1 can pinto beans, black beans, and kidney beans (*drained and rinsed - about 4½ cups beans, 14 oz. can each)
  • 1½ - 2 cups vegetable broth or water (+ extra for sauteing)
  • 4½ cups mashed sweet potato
  • 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 4 heaping cups kale, chopped
  • 5-6 drops hot sauce
Stuffing
  • 3 avocados, sliced
  • 3 stalks green onion, chopped
  • ½ cup cilantro, chopped
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 424 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a casserole dish with parchment paper or spray with oil.
  2. In a large deep pan, saute onions and garlic with a dash of oil or vegetable broth until soft. Stir in the spices (mustard powder, paprika, cumin, chili powder, cayenne pepper), soy sauce, and fire roasted peppers.
  3. With the back of a wooden spoon (or a potato masher), mash beans into the onion mixture. Add 1½ cup of vegetable broth and mashed sweet potato to the pan. Stir and cook for 3-4 minutes. Add Taste test and add salt, pepper, and additional spices to taste.Add additional water if the mixture becomes too thick.
  4. While the sweet potato mixture is cooking. in a medium pan, saute kale with the nutritional yeast and hot sauce until the kale is lightly cooked.
Assemble The Burritos
  1. Place a large tortilla on a plate. Add ½ cup of the sweet potato mixture, ¼ cup of kale, a couple slices of avocado, cilantro and green onion into each burrito. Tightly roll the tortilla into a burrito. Place "seam-down" on the pan. Continue until you use all the tortillas and sweet potato mixture.
  2. Bake for 30 minutes until light golden brown on top. Drizzle with vegan cheese sauce, garnish with cilantro and green onion.
  3. Leave to cool, wrap and place in a freezer safe container to freeze.
Notes
1) Use gluten-free tortilla wraps for these burritos to be gluten-free.

What would be a good replacement for the kale? I like it but my husband doesn’t.

Reply
Ceara September 26, 2017 at 8:15 pm

How about spinach or swiss chard? Any greens would work! Enjoy!

Shaina August 24, 2017 at 10:48 am

How long do these last in the freezer for? And how long do you usually heat them up for in the microwave afterwards?

I made these last night but added coconut milk and a little brown sugar to balance out the spice. Yummy!

I had these at my boyfriends parents house and we all fell in love! I was able to take one a few and my parents loved them as well. I’m making these as we speak to freeze for burritos any time. Thanks ❤

These look great. Do you think they would freeze well?

They freeze very well! I wrap them individually and reheat them for easy lunches!

Suzanne August 27, 2016 at 7:53 am

Do you freeze these with the avocado or add that later?

Reply
Ceara August 30, 2016 at 10:50 pm

They freeze beautifully with the avocado! Enjoy 🙂

Terrific recipe! We enjoy all of these ingredients, but haven’t tried them in this combo before, so I’m looking forward to making these. Shared it as my pick for Recipe of the Day today on my social media.

P.S. I’m trying to rate it with five stars, but it’s only letting me hit two. What’s that about? This is a 5-star in my book!
