Step 1

Toss sweet potato cubes with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 25–30 minutes until tender and slightly crispy on the edges.

Step 2

Once roasted, lightly mash the sweet potatoes in a bowl. Stir in black beans and red onion. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Step 3

Spread the sweet potato and black bean mixture over half of each tortilla. Sprinkle with cheese. Fold the tortillas over to close.

Step 4

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook each quesadilla for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and the cheese is melted.

Step 5

Slice into wedges and top with your favorite fixings—avocado, salsa, sour cream, or a squeeze of lime!
