Ingredients
- High fiber or multigrain tortillas

- 8 oz. white button or baby bella mushrooms can substitute with any preferred mushroom – portobello, oyster, shiitake, etc., chopped
- 2 large handfuls of spinach
- 2 cups sweet potatoes cut into 1” pieces
- 2 tablespoons hummus plain or your flavor of choice

- In a medium sauté pan, add 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil over medium heat.
- Add mushroom with a dash of salt and pepper, and sauté until they start to tenderize, about 5 minutes. Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Set aside.
- In the same sauté pan, add 1 tortilla over medium heat and brown each side (2-3 minutes per side). Remove from heat and spread a layer of hummus over tortilla. Layer the sweet potatoes, spinach and mushroom mixture, and black beans. Fold over other half of the tortilla and cut in half.
