Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, simmer 15 minutes until beans are very soft. Stir in 1 1/2 T tamari (soy sauce). Mash the beans leaving some lumps for texture. Simmer 25 minutes to cook out liquid.

12 10 inch tortillas. Top each with 1/3 c sweet potao, 1/2 c beans and 2 t green onions. Roll up.
