Veggie and Black Bean Burrito Pockets

Instructions

1. Heat the oil in a large sauté pan. Add the onion and sauté until it starts to soften – about 3 minutes. Add the red peppers and sweet potatoes and continue to sauté until the vegetables start to soften – about 4 more minutes. Add the black beans, chili powder, cumin, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper and water. Continue to cook for another few minutes to blend the flavors together. Stir in the chopped scallions, remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool.
2. Place the tortillas out on the counter. Sprinkle some of the cheese in the center of each tortilla and top with the black bean filling, dividing the filling between the tortillas. Top with the remaining Cheddar cheese. Working with one tortilla at a time, fold the two sides of the tortilla into the center and then fold in the top and bottom flaps of the tortilla to make a pocket. Place the seam side down and repeat with remaining tortillas.
3. Heat a little oil in a large sauté pan. Place the pockets into the pan, seam side down, and fry until golden brown. Flip them over and fry on the other side – about 2 minutes per side.
4. Serve the pockets whole, or cut in half, with sour cream on the side.
