Tacoritto – Corn Tortilla stuffed with Yam, Black Beans, and Spinach

October 5, 2017 by Jo Barnett

It’s kind of a taco, but it sort of a burrito therefore let’s call it a tacoritto. It’s easy, vegetarian and really good.

Tacoritto – Corn Tortilla stuffed with Yam, Black Beans, and Spinach

Ingredients:

  • 4 medium size yams
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 medium shallots – finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove – whole
  • 12 oz bag baby spinach
  • 2 15.5 oz cans black beans – drained and rinsed
  • 2 teaspoon cumin – separate
  • 2 teaspoon coriander – separate
  • 1 teaspoon sweet paprika – 1/2 teaspoon separated
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro – chopped
  • 24 corn tortillas
  • zest of 2 limes
  • salt and pepper to taste

Optional garnishes:

  • cheese
  • avocado or guacamole
  • lime juice (a use for the limes you zested)
  • additional chopped cilantro
  1. Preheat oven to 450. Bake yams for approximately 1 hr (until soft to the touch). Set aside to cool and remove the skin.
  2. In same pan add the drained beans, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon coriander & 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika. While beans are heating mash with potato masher. Add cooked yams with 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 coriander, 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika. Mash the beans and yams together. Add the cooked spinach to the mixture and combine. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Add cooked yams with 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 coriander, 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika. Mash the beans and yams together. Add the cooked spinach to the mixture and combine. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Heat the corn tortillas. I do it right on the gas stove top as that adds to the flavor.
  5. Place a portion of the yam/spinach/bean mixture in heated tortilla and wrap sprinkle with lime zest. These heat up beautifully in a microwave.
