Ingredients:

Serves: 6

Yield: 6.0 wraps

• 2 yams, shredded (about 2 cups, I prefer not peeling them.)

• 4 green onions, sliced
• 1/2 cup sunflower seeds, shelled
• 1/4 cup Italian dressing, lite
• 2 teaspoons honey
• 6 (10 inch) flour tortillas, warmed to soften

Directions:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the dressing & honey, before adding this to the yam mixture, tossing to coat.
4. Fill the tortillas & wrap them up.

What a terrific find. Last terrific find I had was money in my clothes dryer. Made for Everyday Is A Holiday.

I LOVE this! I made half of the recipe and it still made two wraps. The combination of the cooked sweet potato and onion with the uncooked green onions, sesame seeds and black beans was excellent! This is a great veggie/vegan option for lunch or dinner. This will be my first recipe to make it into my best of the best of 2012 cookbook!

This was excellent! I agree -- the hardest part was grating the yam. I didn't have green onions and had to use regular onion instead of red. Love the sunflower seeds in it! Made for Zaar 1-2-3 Hits Tag Game 2010.
