Ingredients
- 1 medium sweet potatoes
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 small onion
- 1 jalapeno pepper
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 cup corn frozen
- 1/2 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 3 large flour tortillas
Preparation
- Peel and cube sweet potato. Double boil potatoes if you are on a low potassium diet. (See helpful hints)
- Once potatoes are drained, toss with paprika and garlic powder. Dice onion and seed and dice jalapeno. Mince the clove of garlic.
- In a large saucepan heat olive oil over medium heat for one minute. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add jalapeno, garlic, chili powder, cumin to onion. Stir and cook for 2 minutes.
- Add corn and beans, cook for 8 minutes.
- Scoop sweet potato mix into flour tortilla and top with 1/3 cup of shredded lettuce. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll up to form the burrito.
Helpful hints
- Double boil method: Peel and small dice potatoes. Place in a large pot of water and bring to a boil. Drain the water and add fresh water to the pot. Bring to a boil, cook for 10 minutes then drain and prepare as desired.
- To cut back on carbohydrates, you may eat in a bowl or on top of salad greens, without the tortilla.
- Potassium from whole foods such as beans and sweet potatoes are not 100% absorbed by the body. Whole foods can be part of a healthy kidney friend diet and contribute other nutrients and vitamins.
- This recipe can be doubled and the second half can be frozen in an airtight container in the freezer for 3 months. Take out and reheat on stove or microwave before putting in tortilla.
