I finally had a chance to try out a recipe from the new Yellow Rose Recipes: Black Bean & Sweet Potato Flautas. We loved, loved, loved these!! They're basically just sweet potato, black beans, corn, tomato and spices baked in a corn tortilla. Such an awesome combination. I topped them with some Mexican Gravy and Tofutti Sour Supreme.
Since I had some extra sweet potato left over, I also whipped up a batch of Mexican Tortilla Triangles from Dreena Burton's first book, The Everyday Vegan. I subbed the called-for butternut squash with the sweet potato, and added sun dried tomatoes and black olives to the mix. They were pretty good, but I don't think they were good enough to go through the trouble of making again.
I still have high hopes for Dreena's book, though. There are some great looking recipes in it. I'm not sure why my first recipe from it was a silly little appetizer.
Anyway, here are the goodies:

Oh no on the no go, Lori! I'm very particular about hummus, so I better not try that one.
