Black Bean, Rice and Yam Wraps
1 1/2 cups short grain brown rice
1/2 cup sweet brown rice
4 cups water
pinch sea salt

1 large yam, cut into large chunks
3 cups cooked black beans (or 2 cans)
1 large avocado, mashed
salsa
mixed greens
brown rice tortillas, *warmed (or wheat if no problems)

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees
2. Place rice, water, sea salt into 2 quart pot, cover and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 45 minutes. Remove pot from heat and let stand for at least 10 - 15 minutes.
3. While rice is cooking, place yam chunks into small casserole dish and fill with about 1/2 inch of water.  Place lid on casserole dish and bake for 40 - 45 minutes or until yams are very tender. Remove skins and slightly mash with fork.
4. To assemble a wrap, lay a warmed tortilla flat onto a plate and place a small amount of rice in the middle of it.  Add some cooked black beans, some mashed yam, mashed avocado, salsa and mixed greens. Fold ends in and roll.

The author adds that these can be made ahead of time for a quick meal on the go.
*To warm the tortillas, wrap in foil and place in steamer or over a pan of boiling water for just a few minutes.  They hold their shape better.
