Ingredients
  

  • 2.0 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1.0 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1.0 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 0.5 teaspoon cumin
  • 0.0 to taste salt
  • 0.0 to taste pepper
  • 4.0 whole wheat tortillas
  • 1.0 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 0.5 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1.0 whole avocado, sliced
  • 0.0 to serve lime wedges

Instructions
 

  • In a medium pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the diced sweet potatoes and cook until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
  • Add olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper to the cooked sweet potatoes. Mash them lightly with a fork, leaving some chunks for texture.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Place one tortilla in the skillet. Spread a portion of the sweet potato mixture over half of the tortilla, then sprinkle with a quarter of the cheese, and top with some black beans and cilantro.
  • Fold the tortilla in half, pressing it down gently. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side, until golden and crispy. Carefully flip it and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side, until the cheese melts.
  • Repeat the assembly and cooking process with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.
  • Once cooked, remove the quesadillas from the skillet and cut them into wedges. Serve warm with avocado slices and lime wedges on the side.
