I developed this recipe after a long day of hiking in the mountains. I was starving and didn't have much food left. I had some whole wheat tortillas, a can of black beans, a sweet potato, an onion, a bell pepper, an avocado, and some salsa. I decided to throw everything together in a burrito and it was so delicious. I've been making these burritos ever since.
