Ingredients
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 small yam or sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 chile pepper, diced
1 small red bell pepper, diced
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, with liquid
juice from 1 orange
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
4 flour tortillas (10-inch diameter)
1/2 cup mild mango chutney
6 ounces jack cheese, grated

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. In a saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat and saute the fresh vegetables for 3 minutes. Add the beans, orange juice, salt, and spices and bring to a boil. Continue cooking at a slow boil until the liquid is reduced, about 10 minutes. In the center of each tortilla, spread 2 tablespoons of chutney. Top with one-quarter of the vegetable mixture and the cheese. Roll up the wraps and bake for 15 minutes.
