A Sweet Potato Burrito Packs Your Morning with Power

The team at Lucky Peach is not playing around with their vegetables. The James Beard Award-winning food publication, helmed by Peter Meehan, isn’t saying you necessarily need to go full-on vegan, or even abandon your precious bacon, but their new cookbook Power Vegetables: Turbocharged Recipes for Vegetables with Guts provides a pretty compelling argument for relegating meat to a supporting role and letting produce take center stage. In this endlessly customizable, and so very breakfast-friendly burrito, roasted sweet potatoes pack healthy heft, bolstered by smoky, earthy spices like cumin, coriander, and cloves. Meat will be but a distant dream, and you’ll face your day with a belly full of burrito, plus plenty of energy and pleasure.Sweet Potato BurritosIn this morning’s production of YOUR BURRITO, the role of Chorizo will be played by its understudy, Sweet Potato. Please remember to silence your cell phones before the show begins.Excerpted from Lucky Peach Presents Power Vegetables!: Turbocharged Recipes for Vegetables with Guts. Copyright © 2016 by Lucky Peach, LLC.
