Add minced garlic and stir.

cumin, mustard, and cayenne.
Bring to a oil, turn heat to low, cover, and simmer until beans
are very soft, 10 to 15 minutes.
Stir in soy sauce.
Mash beans in the pot with a potato masher or large slotted spoon.
Simmer, uncovered, to cook away any excess liquid.
Taste and add more seasoning if desired.
Sprinkle scallions over beans.

Preheat oven to 375F.
Spread 2/3 cup bean mixture down the middle of a tortilla and top
with 1/2 cup mashed sweet potato.
Roll up, folding edges in from two side to cover filling.
Repeat with remaining tortillas.
Place burritos seam side down on a baking sheet or in a casserole
dish.
Bake until crisp, 5 to 12 minutes.

Sprinkle burritos with toppings of choice.
Garnish as desired.
