Ben's Burly Burritos

My mate Ben from Seattle is staying for a few days. He is an awesome laptop DJ. Check him and his trax out here. Ben doesn't groove on the meat so we whipped up some stylin' yam burritos.

Ingredients:
2 yams
2 potatoes
1 onion
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic
zest and juice of 1 lime
Spice Rub
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
2 teaspoon chili powder
2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon powdered tomato soup
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon lemonade crystals
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon hickory smoke powder

Peel and slice yams and potatoes. French fry style is groovy if you can (buy one of those groovy slicer things). Toss with oil and add garlic, zest and lime juice. Mix up spice rub and toss it in. Put spiced veg mixture on oiled baking sheets and put in the oven at 450 for 20 min. When done adjust salt according to taste. Serve with burrito shells and all fixins like rice, beans, salsa, guacamole, cilantro, cheese, etc. Boo-ya.
