Instructions

1. Put the yams in a stainless-steel saucepot with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until soft, about 12 minutes. Drain the water and add the vegetable broth to the yams. Mash with a potato masher until quite smooth, then stir in the green chiles, lime juice, chipotle, cumin, and garlic. Mix well, stir in the black beans, and mix again.
2. Heat a nonstick griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Spread some of the yam mixture on half of a tortilla, then fold it over and flatten. Place the folded tortilla on the griddle and cook it for about 2½ minutes on each side, flipping several times to make sure it doesn’t burn. Repeat with the remaining yam mixture and tortillas. Serve topped with salsa and/or guacamole.
   
   Note: This kid-friendly recipe makes quite a large amount. However, Yamadillas store well overnight in the refrigerator. Reheated on the griddle the next day, they’ll taste just like they were freshly made.
