My solution, to try and find healthy meals that my husband and I will enjoy, and that the kids will eat and want seconds. This recipe was mission accomplished!
Here it goes:
Ingredients:
- 1 small sweet potato, peeled, cubed, and boiled (10 minutes)
- 1 Tbs olive oil
- 1-15 ounce can of black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic
- handfull of cilantro, washed and chopped
- 1/4 cup sour cream, plus extra for topping
- 10 - 6 inch wheat (recommended) flour tortillas
- 1.5 cups shredded chicken (I used leftover chicken)
- 1-2 cups monterey jack cheese (recommended, but you can use any other cheese)
- Toppings of your choice: sour cream, salsa, fresh tomatoes, cilantro, etc..
Directions:
- In a heated skilled, heat olive oil. Add onions, garlic, cilantro. Cook for 3-5 minutes, then add black beans and cook a few more minutes to heat them through.
- Add the cubed/boiled sweet potato to the skilled, as well as the sour cream. Use a hand blender to blend mixture into a puree (this is the trick to getting kids to eating veggies--next time I will add spinach in this mixture, mwuahaha!)
- Heat another pan. Add a couple spoon-fulls of the mixture onto a tortilla and spread to cover, add some shredded chicken and then some cheese, and top with another tortilla. Place in the heated pan and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown. Flip and repeat.
Enjoy friends!
