INGREDIENTS
2 Whole Wheat Tortillas
1/2 cup Canned Black Beans (drained)
80 grams Sweet Potato (diced)
1/2 cup Low-Fat Shredded Cheese
1/2 scoop Unflavored Plant Protein Powder
1 tsp Cumin
1 tsp Smoked Paprika
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Peel and dice the sweet potato into small cubes. Toss with cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Spread the seasoned sweet potato on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until tender and slightly crisp.
While the sweet potato roasts, rinse and drain the black beans. In a small bowl, gently mash about half of the beans, leaving some whole for texture. Stir in the plant protein powder to incorporate the extra protein boost.
Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a dry pan over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side.
Sprinkle a layer of low-fat cheese on one half of each tortilla. Add a layer of roasted sweet potato, the mashed and whole black beans, and a light sprinkle of extra cumin and smoked paprika if desired.
Fold the tortilla over to create a quesadilla and place it back in the pan over medium heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until the tortilla is golden and the cheese has melted, pressing down occasionally for extra crispiness.
Remove from the pan, slice into wedges, and serve immediately.
