Instructions:

1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes:
- Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into small chunks.
- Place them in a pot of water and bring to a boil. Cook until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain and mash the sweet potatoes. Set aside.
2. Cook the Filling:
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onions and sauté until they are translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Season the Filling:
- Stir in the kidney beans, chili powder, ground cumin, mustard, red pepper (if using), and soy sauce.
- Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is heated through, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Combine with Sweet Potatoes:
- Add the mashed sweet potatoes to the skillet and stir until evenly distributed.
- Take a taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
5. Assemble the Burritos:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lay the tortillas flat and spoon an equal portion of the sweet potato and bean mixture down the center of each tortilla.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the filling.
- Roll up the tortillas, tucking in the sides to make burritos.
6. Bake the Burritos:
- Place the rolled burritos in a baking dish, seam side down.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted.
7. Serve:
- Remove the burritos from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
- Serve with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, avocado, salsa, or fresh cilantro.

Tips:

- For a spicier kick, consider adding additional red pepper or your favorite hot sauce.

- You can use whole wheat tortillas for added fiber and nutrients.

- Feel free to customize with additional veggies such as bell peppers, corn, or spinach.

- If you prefer a vegan option, simply omit the cheddar cheese or replace it with a vegan cheese alternative.

- Make sure to cook the sweet potatoes evenly by cutting them into uniform pieces.

- You can prepare the filling ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to three days.
