Sweet Potato Black Bean Quesadillas
These Sweet Potato Quesadillas are full of flavor and plant-based protein. They're quick and easy to make and extra cheesy without the dairy.
Equipment
- Skillet
- Spatula
Ingredients
- 3 large flour tortillas
- 1 can black beans
- 1 cup cooked sweet potato about 1 medium potato
- 4 oz diced green chiles canned
- 1 medium shallot
- 1 tbsp taco seasoning
- 1 ½ cup Plant based cheddar cheese
- ½ tbsp olive oil for sauteing
Instructions
- Wash and pat dry your medium sweet potato. Using a fork, pierce it 8-10 times to create several holes. Cook your sweet potato in the microwave for about 6 minutes or until fork tender through the center.
- Remove the cooked sweet potato from the microwave, and let it cool 1-2 minutes before handling. Split it open and spoon the cooked sweet potato into a large mixing bowl.
- Add the black beans, ½ cup of the vegan cheese, diced chiles, taco seasoning and diced shallot. Mix until combined.
- Over medium-low heat, heat a small amount of oil in a large skillet.
- Place one empty tortilla on the skillet, fill only half of the tortilla with the sweet potato/black bean mixture then top with 1/3 of the remaining cheese. Fold the tortilla in half to cover the mixture and press with a spatula to flatten. Cook each quesadilla 2-3 minutes per side.
- Slice, serve, and enjoy!
