Ingredients:
- High fiber or multigrain tortillas
- 1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
- 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)
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Directions:
- Roast sweet potatoes: preheat the oven to 400 F. Toss potatoes with 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, salt and black pepper. Lay potatoes out in single layer on baking sheet, roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender.
- 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.
Enjoy!
