These burritos were a waste of time. They were bland and flavorless.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my burritos fell apart when I tried to wrap them. Maybe I didn't cook the sweet potatoes long enough?

These burritos were a bit too spicy for me. I think I'll use less chili powder next time.

I had a hard time finding sweet potatoes that were the right size for these burritos. I ended up having to cut them into smaller pieces.
