  • Total Time: 60 minutes
  • Yield: 3 quesadillas 1x
  • Diet: Vegan

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sweet potato
  • 6 medium tortillas
  • 1 shallot
  • 1 can of black beans
  • 1/8 tsp of cinnamon
  • Sprinkle of salt
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp coriander
  • Sprinkle pepper
  • 1/4 of a lime

Instructions

  1. Using a fork, poke holes all around the sweet potato. Bake it on a silicon mat for 45 minutes at 425 degrees. It will be ready when you can easily put the fork all the way into the potato at the thickest part.

  2. Cut the potato in half and scoop out the flesh into a medium bowl. Mash with a fork until an even texture forms. Add in all seasonings and mix again.

  3. Next, add in beans and shallots, mixing until well combined. If you are using refried beans, don’t add them in yet.

  4. Bring a pan to medium heat

  5. Spread a third of the sweet potato mixture on each of three tortillas. Add a layer of spinach on top. If you are using refried beans, you can add a layer on top of the spinach. Top with a second tortilla.

  6. Add this into the pan and cook each side for 3 minutes or until the tortillas turn golden brown.

  7. Top your finished quesadillas with a squeeze of lime, green onions, salsa, or whatever your heart desires. Enjoy!
