I recently cut meat out of my diet completely. In my quest for new and interesting meals, I came up with these delicious quesadillas! Ingredients:
1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced |
1 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro |
1/4 teaspoon chili powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup frozen corn |
1 (19 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed |
8 (8 inch) flour tortillas |
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese |
cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Place sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until very tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and transfer to a bowl. Mash sweet potatoes and mix in cilantro, chili powder, and salt.
2. Place corn in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high until warmed, 1 to 2 minutes.
3. Spread 1/4 cup sweet potato mixture onto 1 tortilla; cover with 1/4 cup black beans and 1 tablespoon corn. Sprinkle 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese atop corn; cover with a tortilla. Repeat with remaining tortillas and fillings.
4. Spray a frying pan with cooking spray and place over medium heat; cook 1 quesadilla in the hot pan until cheese is melted and beans are heated through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining quesadillas; slice into quarters.
