Savory Sweet Potato & Black Bean Quesadillas

Ingredients:​

• 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1/2 tsp cumin
• 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Directions:​

1. Hey, let's get cooking! Start by boiling the diced sweet potatoes in salted water for about 10-12 minutes, until tender. Drain and mash them in a bowl.
2. Spice it up! Stir the black beans, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper into the mashed sweet potatoes.
3. Quesadilla time! Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Place a tortilla in the skillet, sprinkle with some cheese, and spread half of the sweet potato mixture over the cheese. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and top with another tortilla.
4. Cook to perfection! Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

I love this idea! I think adding some chipotle sauce would give it a smoky kick, though it’s already delicious as is! .
