Sweet Potato and Bean Quesadillas Recipe

From Brittany Hubbard, Taste of Home

Ingredients:

2 medium sweet potatoes

4 whole wheat tortillas (8 inches)

¾ cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained

½ cup shredded pepper jack cheese

¾ cup salsa

Directions:

1.  Scrub sweet potatoes; pierce several times with a fork.  Place on a microwave-safe plate.  Microwave, uncovered, on high 7-9 minutes or until very tender, turning once.

2.  When cool enough to handle, cut each potato lengthwise in half.  Scoop out pulp.  Spread onto one half of each tortilla; top with beans and cheese.  Fold other half of tortilla over filling.

3.  Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat.  Cook quesadillas 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cheese is melted.  Serve with salsa.

Yield:  4 servings
