A yam is a potato’s brighter, healthier brother. They are high in vitamin B6 and potassium, which are good protectors against cardiovascular disease. Yams are also high in FIBER, which keeps our GI systems running smoothly. They also have a lot of vitamin C– bring on the antioxidant benefits!
Preheat oven to 375 degrees (F). In a large bowl, toss yam chunks with 1 Tablespoon of oil. Spread coated yams on a greased baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20 minutes, or until yams are tender.
In a large skillet, heat 1 Tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute until tender. Add beans and cumin and leave it on the stovetop until everything is heated through. Remove skillet from heat and gently stir in roasted yam chunks.
Spoon approximately 1/2 cup of the mixture into the center of each tortilla. Top mixture with sour cream and/or cilantro, if desired.

thank you so much for this recipe! I have also substituted butternut squash for the yams using same cooking method and it turned out great.
