Simple Corn and Bean Burritos: Revamped

When I first posted this dinner, I told you all we would make them a lot.  And well, while they haven't seen our table on a weekly basis, I would guess I pull the recipe card out about once a month.  This last time, I had some sweet potatoes to use up and an avocado, so I roasted the sweet potatoes and added the avocados on top.

Now, I'm afraid, the original recipe will seem a bit boring.

Since the revamp was so good, I thought I'd post it here.  I hope you enjoy the flavor combo this brings!

Simple Corn, Bean, and Sweet Potato Burritos

-- Roast the potatoes for 40 minutes at 350.  Stirring in the middle to make sure they cook evenly.
