Sweet Potato + Black Bean Quesadilla

Quesadillas are one of my all time favorite foods. They can be eaten any time of the day and can be filled with absolutely anything! I shared this recipe with you guys a few months ago, and today I'm back with another one! This one features sweet potatoes which I've just started to love +

Ingredients:

• 2 tortillas
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 sweet potato, peeled 
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1/2 tsp cumin
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/2 cup Monterey jack (or sharp cheddar) cheese 
• 1/2 cup black beans 
• 1/2 cup spinach 

Directions: 

• Chop the sweet potato into small cubes and place in a pan with the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the chili powder and the cumin and combine. Add the water to the saucepan and cover. Allow to cook until the sweet potato is tender, about 8 minutes. Lightly mash the sweet potato.  Right before the sweet potatoes are done, add the spinach and mix together. 
• On each of your quesadillas add a layer of cheese, a layer of sweet potato + spinach mixture, and a handful of black beans.
• Cook each quesadilla on each side until golden brown, 3-5 minutes, over medium-low heat. 
• Serve the quesadilla warm with any extra cheese or sweet potato mixture on the side! 
• Enjoy!

This is a super simple recipe for a delicious and healthy meal! Comment below if you try out this recipe, I'd love to hear how it goes! Also share any other things you would like me try out, I'm always up for something new.
