Ingredients
  • 2 Large Sweet Potatoes, peeled and sliced into chunks
  • 4 Large White Tortilla Wraps
  • 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Coriander
  • 1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper (or to preference)
  • 1/2 can of Black Beans, rinsed
  • 2 Large handfuls of Cheddar
  • Juice from 1/2 a Lime
  • Salt & Black Pepper, to taste
  • Olive Oil (see note A)
  • Extras 'n' optionals:
  • Avocado
  • Jalapeno
  • Fresh Coriander
  • Extra Limes
  • Sour Cream
  • Salsa
  • Guac
Method
  1. Preheat oven to 220c (430f). 
  2. Place your spuds in a suitably sized oven dish and give them a good drizzle of Oil. Add in your Smoked Paprika, Cumin, Ground Coriander, Cayenne Pepper, Salt & Pepper and give them a mix to completely coat them. Pop in the oven for a good 30-40mins or until softened with a caramelized outing.
  3. When the dish has cooled down a little, grab a potato masher and roughly smash your Sweet Potatoes. Place to one side.
  4. Take a Tortilla and lightly brush one side of it with Oil. Place on a griddle pan (see note B) oiled side face down, making sure the hob is turned off. Spread on half of your Sweet Potato mash, top with half your Black Beans, 1 Handful of Cheese, a squeeze of Lime Juice and Seasoning if needed. Place a second Tortilla on top, press down to contain the filling and lightly brush the top with Oil.
  5. At this point turn the hob onto a medium heat and fry for around 6-8 mins on each side, or until griddle marks appear with a golden surrounding. If you tap on the Quesadillas it should sound slightly hollow and crunchy.
  6. Serve with any additional toppings and sides (suggestions in ingredients). Enjoy!
