Sweet Potato Burritos/The Magnificent Seven

Hoping to get back on track here. I couldn't decide whether to post the sweet potato burritos or the vegan chorizo soup I made. I think I took a better picture of the burrito so that's what made it.

The holidays have kind of taken over my life, but hopefully this will be the start of the regular posts again. This weekend I will have a post from my home state, Michigan!

I used a soy chorizo "sausage" that I got from the local grocery store here. I only used half of the package because I wanted more of a flavoring than chunks of fake meat. You can use a full package, the real stuff, whatever you want! If you're looking for a good soy substitute, the Trader Joe's brand is my faaavorite. It's also inexpensive and much healthier than it's meaty counterpart.

I also really like spicy things so I used two jalapenos, with seeds. To take it down a notch you can de-seed, use one, or completely omit the peppers. It's up to you!

The burritos have lots of strange things in them because that's what I had. I'm not really aiming for authenticity here.

I served this alongside some Boston lettuce and broccoli salad with pickled watermelon radishes. The radishes were beautiful. To pickle, just combine some rice vinegar and sugar and soak the radishes and an onion in a jar overnight. The color is really something.


They're cute and look like watermelons!
 Anyways, back to those BURRITOS.
