Heat oil in good sized skillet. Saute onion and garlic until just brown. Add in sweet potato, tomatoes and spices. Cook until soft and kinda mushy, but not liquidy.
Spoon into tortillas, wrap and place in rectangular casserole dish wrap-down.

In the same (now mostly empty skillet) toss in the salsa and peppers. Cook until the peppers start to get soft and be sure to mix in some of the other sweet potato mush that’s still in the pot.
