- 1/4 Cup Corn (Rinsed and Drained)
- 1 Mini Red Pepper

Instructions
- Peel and chop the sweet potato into small cubes. Boil or steam until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a bowl, mash the sweet potato. Stir in black beans, corn, diced mini peppers, jalapeno (if using), and taco seasoning until well combined.
- Take a tortilla and spread a generous amount of the mixture in the center. Top with cheese and a few slices of avocado. Fold the tortilla in half.
- Heat 1 tsp of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Place the quesadilla in the pan and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, adding more oil as needed.
- Cut the quesadillas into wedges. Serve with fresh cilantro, lime juice, salsa, and sour cream.
Notes
For extra spice, add more jalapenos or hot sauce. Try different kinds of cheese for varied flavors.
