Addictive Sweet Potato Burritos

"This addictive sweet potato burritos is such a simple, healthy, delicious meal. Once you've had one, you'll want another. The recipe is a little different from most burrito recipes, but I've had many, many requests for it. Serve these with sour cream, chopped green onions, and salsa."
