Sweet Potato Black Bean and Spinach Quesadilla

Okay this quesadilla may be a new favorite over here. It’s seriously the best combo, I mean does it get any better than sweet potato in a melty quesadilla? YUM. This makes for an easy vegetarian meal to throw together for a weeknight lunch or dinner! I think these are going to be a new repeat meal around here.

What you need to make this quesadilla:

• Tortilla (I used a whole wheat tortilla!)
• Sweet Potato
• Black Beans
• Spinach
• Mozzarella cheese (or any cheese you’d like to use!)

How to make a Sweet Potato Black Bean and Spinach Quesadilla:

1. Start by cooking your sweet potato. I cook at 400 degrees for 30-40 minutes depending on the size of the sweet potato!
2. Let the sweet potato cool down and mash it in a bowl. Using one tortilla, add mashed sweet potato, black beans, cheese and spinach.
3. Place on pan on medium heat. Add top tortilla (so you’ll be using 2 tortillas here!)
4. Cook on both sides until tortilla browns and cheese melts.
5. Top with red pepper flakes & enjoy!
