P90X Inspired German Potato Burrito! #6 in the 12 Burritos of Christmas

You have to love P90X because it's a kick ass workout but all of Tony and crew's banter is what makes it fun! You won't find this in the meal guide but it was fun to create and enjoy :) Once again, I totally get that bacon is a sometimes food. In preparation for all those New Years resolutions the remaining 6 burritos will be as clean as possible. Oh, and I know that Xmas has come and gone but that the burrito recipes will just keep rolling into 2011 ;)

Oh, and carb loading for a marathon? This is the burrito for you!
 

German Potato Burrito


Ingredients

4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 15 oz can of chicken broth
5-6 slices of bacon (you can use olive oil if keeping it vegan)
1 large onion, chopped
2 jalapeno peppers, diced
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1 tsp caraway seeds
1 cup cooked pink beans (or white if you can not find pink canned)
1 lb packages sauerkraut, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup apple juice
4 whole wheat burrito tortillas

Preparation

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

Place potatoes in a saucepan, cover with water and bring to a simmer. Simmer for about 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Drain and set aside.

Meanwhile saute bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until just beginning to crisp. Drain some of the drippings (I will let your clean eating conscious be your guide) Return pan to heat and add onions, green peppers and red or green jalapenos. Continue to saute until veggies soften up a bit.

Add drained sauerkraut, caraway seeds, apple juice and about 1/3 cup of broth to veggie/bacon mixture and simmer until thickened slightly.

Mash potatoes with broth to desired consistency. (You may have another way of making mashed potatoes, feel free to do that, this is just how I make them.

Divide mixture potato mixture evenly down the center of the 4 tortillas. Top with evenly divided beans and make the last layer the veggie bacon mixture.

Roll burritos up, and place, seam side down, in baking dish. Cover tightly with foil and bake for about 30 minutes, until piping hot. Garnish with paprika spiked yogurt or sour cream if you want.

BRING IT to your mouth ;) hehehehe. Sorry I know that was lame but could not resist.
