MEAL PLAN: Before starting the tacos, cook some sweet potatoes in the
microwave, allowing one per person. Microwave them in batches of 2 (8 to 10
minutes on HIGH power), and be sure to microwave an extra sweet potato for
the next night's Ravioli with Sweet Potato Sauce. In addition, make a
simple tossed salad.

Soft tacos are meant to be eaten with knife and fork rather than in hand,
as you would crisp tacos.

4 to 6 servings Lacto

Preheat oven to 400 F. Wrap tortillas in aluminum foil and warm in oven.

In large saucepan, combine water and bell pepper. Cover and cook over
medium heat, 2 minutes. Add corn, green onions, jalapeno pepper and refried
beans. Stir gently until mixture is heated through, about 5 minutes.

Remove tortillas from oven. Spread some of the filling on one half of each
tortilla, then sprinkle with a small amount of cheese. Fold over and
arrange on individual. plates. Top with salsa and yogurt if desired.
