Daniel and I have been trying different food approaches since we are eating more healthily. Just before Thanksgiving, the sweet potatoes were so cheap that I bought some extras and vowed that I would figure out a way to use them. A couple of weeks later we decided to use them for dinner, so I boiled them in water to soften them, hoping to make them into french fries (baked, of course). Well, we ended up over-boiling them, so they were too soft. Thus baking was out of the question. A little voice (Gusteau?) asked why we couldn't use them as fries anyWAY? Not having prepared anything else for dinner, we brought out the ever popular flour tortillas, put our cut-up sweet potatoes on them (fried slightly with olive oil and onions and garlic), added cheese and bacon bits and FAT FREE sour cream (can you even taste a difference?) and green onions (the splurge in our family), and a wonderful, healthifuler Mexican food fix meal was born:
Behold the SWEET POTATO BURRITO!
Many happy (and yummy) returns!
