YAM AND BLACK BEAN WRAPS (LOUISIANA)

Steps:

• In a skillet coated with nonstick cooking spray, saute the shredded yams over medium-high heat for 5 minutes or until crisp tender, then transfer to a bowl.
• In the same skillet, sprayed again, saute the red onion for 5 minutes or until tender, then add the onion to the shredded yams, along with the black beans, green onions & sunflour seeds, mixing well.
• In a small bowl, mix together the dressing & honey, before adding this to the yam mixture, tossing to coat.
• Fill the tortillas & wrap them up.

TUNA & BLACK BEAN WRAP

Steps:

• In a medium sized bowl add the tuna, drained black beans, salsa, cheese, Green onions, Cabbage, Cilantro and Salt. Combine until well mixed.
• Separate the tuna mixture into four equal parts. Place a serving in each whole wheat tortilla. Roll the mixture up into each tortilla, allowing the ends to remain open; there's no need to tuck them.
• Cut each tortilla wrap in half at an angle, plate and serve.

YAM AND BLACK BEAN BURRITOS WITH AMARANTH

Steps:

• Scrub (but don't peel) the yams, cut them into bite-size pieces, and steam in a saucepan or steamer basket until tender but still holding their shape, about 10 minutes.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and then add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the jalapeño pepper and bell peppers and continue cooking for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, until they begin to soften. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute, then stir in the yams, tomatoes, salsa, beans, cilantro, and lime juice and cook just to heat through, about 3 to 4 more minutes. Finally, add the amaranth, chili powder, and cumin and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Serve in warm tortillas and top with avocado and, if you like, sour cream.
