I couldn't help but to saute the onion and garlic in 1/2 cup Goya sofrito (freezer section) and 1/4 of a diced Cubanelle pepper, then added 1 can each of drained red and black beans nd 1/2 cup water, roughly mashing the mixture. To 4 baked, mashed sweet potatoes, I added 1/2 tsp. each salt and ground chipotle pepper. Due to unforeseen circumstances I froze both mixtures and thawed them this past weekend (worked GREAT!) For the tortillas, used our favorite Chi-Chi's brand Cafe Style enchilada-size tortillas (a corn flour and wheat flour tortilla). I prepared 10 Burritos, veggie spraying the seam side, laying the seam side down on a baking sheet, and veggie sprayed the tops. Placed baking sheet in lower 1/3 of the oven and turned burritos 10 minutes into the baking. They were browned/crispy and delicious. My hubby and I gave them 2 thumbs up, adding more spicy condiments as we like to do. I took leftovers to work this week and throughly enjoyed them! This deviated from the posted recipe, but I do see that others have made their own versions from this tasty "stepping stone" of a recipe!

I still love making/eating this stuff and am so delighted that there are so many others who've enjoyed it over the years as well! Just thought I'd share a tip that I've come to love over the years... sometimes I forget to melt the butter used to pour into the well and when that happens I don't make a well but I simply cut the 1/4 cup butter into chunks and press them slightly into the surface of the colcannon. Within minutes there are multiple "mini wells" of melted buttery yumminess! Everybody gets to have a good shot at getting a serving with melted butter! Oh, and I've also started using more bacon! Life's too short not to! :-)

I did not use purchased pork barbeque, but used some freshly smoked with our favorite bbq sauce. For our family the ricotta simply did not work well with the bbq sauce when I tried it on the day I made it. I then tried it the following day hoping that the flavors would have melded better, but for me it simply wasn't a good combination.
