Jamaican Jerk Burritos with Coconut Black Beans & Ginger-Cilantro Cream

This burrito is what my husband likes to call a " white man burrito." So far off from the typical Mexican style burrito filled with refried beans and rice and on the road to absurdness filled with fruit and vegetables never before seen wrapped up in a tortilla. But I sure didn't hear him complaining as he wiped his plate clean.

Jerk tofu, plantains, coconut smothered black beans, crispy snap pea slivers and ginger-cilantro sour cream wrapped up snug in a warm tortilla.
