Vegan Fat-Free Smashed Sweet Potato Burrito

Posted by:Lindsay S. Nixon Category: Recipe

This burrito is an ode to my favorite dish at Candle Cafe, the Paradise Casserole. Leftover grains and/or a leftover sweet potato make this a particularly fast dish to whip up, but starting from scratch will still have dinner ready in less than 30 minutes.
