Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by cutting sweet potatoes into 1-inch chunks. In a pot, bring water to a boil and add the sweet potato chunks. Cook for about 8 minutes or until they are fork-tender. Drain them and mash with a fork, incorporating chili powder, paprika, cumin, coriander, and a pinch of salt for added flavor.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and green peppers, sautéing them until they soften, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the mashed sweet potatoes until everything is well combined.
- Drain and rinse the black beans. Add them to the skillet with the sweet potatoes and veggies, mixing gently. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- In a clean skillet over medium heat, place a tortilla flat and spoon about ⅓ cup of your prepared filling onto one half. Sprinkle with grated cheddar cheese, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice. Carefully fold the tortilla over to encase the filling.
- Cook the quesadilla for about 1-2 minutes, until the bottom side is crispy and golden brown. Carefully flip and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until crispy and the cheese is melted.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling, serving hot with yogurt or your choice of toppings.
