Delicious Sweet Potato Quesadillas: A Healthy Twist on a Mexican Classic

    I LOVED the combination of flavors! I reduced the recipe to make two tortillas, but then used a whole can of rinsed and drained black beans, and one HUGE yam that I microwaved for six minutes, then cut into chunks. I baked my stuffed quesadillas for 10 minutes at 400 F ~ any longer and they would have been waaaaaaay overdone! I served them with medium-heat salsa, sliced avocado, and sour cream. Made for Let's P-A-R-T-Y 2011.
