Sweet Potato, Black Bean and Caramelized Onion Burritos image

The caramelized onion with the sweet potatoes takes on a superb flavor with the black beans adding a Southern touch. I haven't made this yet, but am posting this here for safe keeping. Found this @ http://www.sweetpotato.org created by the Louisiana Sweet Potato Commission spokesperson, Holly Clegg. Prep time not included.
