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!
