Why This Wrap Works for Midlife Women

• Sweet Potatoes: Packed with beta-carotene and fiber, they support eye health, immunity, and digestion.
• Black Beans: A plant-based protein and fiber powerhouse, they help with blood sugar stability and gut health.
• Avocado oil & avocado topping: Bring in healthy fats that support skin, heart, and hormone health.
• Nutritional Yeast: Adds a cheesy flavor while boosting B-vitamins. Great for energy and nervous system support.

Ingredients

• 1 ½ sweet potatoes (washed, unpeeled, cut into 1-inch cubes—1 cup)

• 1 tbsp taco seasoning
• ¼ cup nutritional yeast
• Juice of 3 limes
• 6 brown rice tortillas

2. Heat 1 tbsp avocado oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Sauté red onion and bell pepper for 3–4 minutes.
3. Add black beans, taco seasoning, and nutritional yeast. Cook for 5 minutes, then season to taste.
4. Once sweet potatoes are ready, lay tortillas on a flat surface and layer with roasted sweet potatoes, bean mixture, and romaine.
