3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons chili powder

2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
4 cups mashed cooked sweet potatoes
12 (10 inch) flour tortillas, warmed
8 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Heat oil in a medium skillet. Cook and stir onion and garlic in hot oil until onion is soft. Mash beans into onion mixture. Gradually stir in water; heat until warm, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in soy sauce, chili powder, mustard, cumin, and cayenne pepper.

Divide bean mixture and mashed sweet potatoes evenly between warm tortillas; top with cheese. Fold tortillas, burrito-style, around fillings and place on a baking sheet.

Key Lime Cupcakes

Cake:

1 (15.25 ounce) package white cake mix
1 cup water
3 eggs
⅓ cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons lime zest
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
3 drops green food coloring (Optional)

Frosting:

½ cup butter, softened
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons lime zest
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
2 tbsp, pearlized sprinkles, or as needed (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners or spray with cooking spray.

Mix cake mix, water, eggs, and vegetable oil together in a bowl using an electric mixer until batter is smooth, about 2 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons lime zest, lime juice, and food coloring; mix well. Pour batter into the prepared muffin cups.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean, about 18 minutes. Cool cupcakes on a wire rack.

Beat butter and cream cheese together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add 2 tablespoons lime zest and vanilla extract to creamed butter mixture; mix well. Mix confectioners' sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, into creamed butter mixture until frosting is smooth; chill in refrigerator until frosting is thickened, about 30 minutes.

Spread frosting onto each cupcake and top with sprinkles.
