Ingredients
For the Filling:
Quesadillas:
For the Filling:
- 1-2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 sweet potato (about 9 oz), grated
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp chili (optional)
- ½ tsp cumin (optional)
- 1 handful of baby spinach
- 1 cup black beans cooked or canned
- ½ cup corn cooked or canned
- 2-3 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
- salt, pepper (to taste)
- For the Quesadillas:
- 6 tortillas (about 7.5 inches)
- 1 cup vegan cheese, grated
- 3 tsp oil
- Heat the oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add the grated sweet potato and roast for 30 seconds. Then add the spices and stir to combine.
- Once the pan is sizzling, add a little bit of water, then cover the pan and reduce heat to low to avoid burning the contents. Cook for about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add baby spinach, stir to combine and cook for about further 2 minutes, until the sweet potato is tender and cooked through.
- Stir in beans, corn, and parsley and cook for 1 minute longer, or until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Quesadillas:
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and brush with a little bit of oil.
- Spread about 3 tbsp of the filling evenly over half of 1 tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Cover filling with grated cheese and fold over the empty side of the tortilla, pressing down carefully by using a spatula, so that it sticks a little. (You can place 2 folded tortillas at a time in the pan).
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes, flip and cook from the other side until golden and crispy.
- Repeat with remaining filling and as many tortillas as needed (about 4-6, depending on the exact size).
- Transfer quesadillas to a cutting board. Slice each quesadilla into three even wedges using a sharp knife or pizza cutter. Serve immediately, with guacamole or other dips of choice.
