Sprouted corn tortillas are gluten-free and a fabulous alternative to typical tortillas as sprouted corn is more digestible and thereby easier for our bodies to absorb the nutrients from the corn. Our favorite brand of delicious ready-made organic corn tortillas is Food for Life, which can be found in the frozen section of your grocery store. Yams are one of those beautifying foods that should be a staple in your diet, as they carry important properties that are quite beneficial to your health.

Yams are high in fiber, vitamin C, vitamin B6, copper, and potassium. Fiber helps promote a healthy digestive system, vitamin C assists with tissue repair, copper promotes the production of collagen (say goodbye to wrinkles!), and potassium is vital to energy production, nerve impulses, and muscle contractions. Lastly, the creamy Chipotle sauce is made with hemp seeds, which is packed with omega-3 fatty acids, vital to our health.
