The kids love sweet potatoes. In fact they all enjoy nearly all of the ingredients in the burrito that the adults have. The kids simply prefer the sweet potatoes, beans and tortilla separate. They also like the chips.
As for the adults, we both enjoy the addition of sweet potatoes to one of our "old standbys". They add a hearty flavor that even Chris—a notorious sweet potato hater—appreciates.
