I first came up with this recipe when I was looking for a quick and easy way to use up some leftover sweet potatoes. I had some cooked black beans in the fridge, and I thought, why not combine the two? I added some salsa, red onion, and cilantro for flavor, and a little bit of lime juice and chili powder for a bit of a kick. The result was a delicious and satisfying burrito that I've been making ever since.
