SP_Stepf's Baked Veggie Burritos

Black beans, sweet potatoes and greens are spiced up and baked in egg roll wrappers to create burritos that are heavy on taste and light on calories. (Feel free to change this recipe with what you've got in the fridge. No sweet potatoes? Try zucchini or butternut squash. Swap kale for spinach, Swiss chard or your favorite green! Instead of black beans, try kidney, pinto or garbanzo beans.)Submitted by: STEPFANIER

This makes a ton of casserole. Way more than 4 servings. I used El Pato enchilada sauce from the Mexican grocery store. All natural and I think gluten-free. I will add more spices next time. Good, hardy recipe. - 3/8/11

I "make" my own spice mix for Mexican dishes. To dishes I will had a couple teaspoons ground cumin, a teaspoon ground turmeric, and enough ground chilli to heat it to our liking. - 1/24/10

Where do you get the GF Enchilada sauce? I have not found any Enchilada sauce to be gluten free and I've looked everywhere. I ended up being "glutened" as we Celiacs say due to Enchilada sauce! Any hints would be helpful. Thanks! - 10/11/09

My family really enjoyed this recipe. They like it hotter, so I added some hot peppers and hot sauce. I make it weekly. - 10/8/08
