Instructions
Cook the Sweet Potato and Spiced Black Beans
- Start by cooking your sweet potato, either by piercing it with a fork a few times and microwaving for 12 minutes (or until fork tender), or placing on a sheet pan and baking in the oven at 400F for 40 minutes (or until fork tender). Make a cut lenghtwise into your sweet potato once it's finished cooking, then mash the inside flesh.1 Sweet potato

Assemble the Quesadillas
- Once the sweet potato and black beans are finished cooking, place the tortillas on a flat surface and layer the ingredients, starting with the 1/4 of the mashed sweet potato, then 1/2 cup of black beans, 1/4 of the bell peppers and red onion, and 1/4 cup of the vegan cheese (if using) per tortilla. Fold the tortilla over to enclose the ingredients.1 batch of 10 minute spiced black beans, 1 Sweet potato, 1 Bell pepper, 1/4 red onion, 4 whole wheat wraps, 1 cup vegan cheese shreds
- Place a large pan on the stove over medium heat. Add the olive oil and spread evenly over the pan. Place the quesadillas on the pan, cover, and cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway between or until golden brown on each side. Depending on how large your pan is, you may only be able to cook two quesadillas at a time.1 tbsp olive oil
- Slice the quesadilla into triangles and serve with your choice of salsa, fresh cilantro, mashed avocado or sour cream. Serve and enjoy!
