It's meatless Monday blog friends! For the record, I am not a vegetarian but I do enjoy a meatless meal every now and then. I follow several food bloggers that participate in Meatless Monday so I thought I would jump on the bandwagon and give it a try. Who knows, if this catches on, maybe I can propose French Fry Friday?
Sweet Potato and Black Bean Quesadilla
1/2 sweet potato
1/2 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
2 Tablespoons low fat colby jack cheese
1 whole wheat flour tortilla
Scrub outside of potato and place on microwave safe dish. Poke holes in potato with a fork and microwave on high for 8 minutes. Cut in half.
Use a spoon to scoop potato flesh onto 1/2 of a whole wheat tortilla.
Sprinkle beans over potato.
Sprinkle cheese on top of beans.
Fold tortilla in half.
Place on a griddle, sprayed with cooking spray. Cook until browned on each side.
Cut into thirds and enjoy.
Talk about a super delicious - and filling - dinner. I had one whole wheat tortilla, half of a sweet potato and a quarter cup of black beans and I was STUFFED!
I didn't even try and feed these quesadillas to my family - I made them rio grande quesadillas instead. The great thing is that they're easy enough to make just one for myself. I actually made myself another quesadilla for lunch the next day. They're just that good.
Ciao!
