Ingredients
- 1 medium sweet potato cooked*
- 1 (14oz) can no salt-added black beans drained and rinse (or 1.5 cups cooked beans)
- 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium taco seasoning (can use homemade or store-bought)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 large whole-wheat tortillas
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, mash the cooked sweet potato. Add in the black beans, taco seasoning, and cilantro and mix until combined.
- Lie a tortilla on a flat surface and evenly spread the sweet potato mixture over half the wrap. Sprinkle with a quarter of the shredded cheese. Fold in half and place on baking sheet. Repeat for all four tortillas.
- Place baking sheet in oven and bake for 20 minutes. Allow to sit for 3-5 minutes. Cut in half using a sharp knife and serve with salsa, Greek yogurt, sour cream and guacamole, if desired.
Notes
*You can cook the sweet potato in the oven at 400 degrees F for 50-60 minutes or in the microwave for 5 minutes or until soft.
*It's highly recommended that you serve the quesadillas fresh from the oven. They just don't have that same crispy factor when reheated.
