Servings: persons

2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into chunks
4 large flour tortillas
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to preference)
2/3 cup black beans, rinsed
1/2 lime (juiced)
1/4 teaspoon salt and black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup raw cashews
1/4 cup nutritional yeast with 1 t water

1
Preheat oven to 425.
2
Place your spuds in a suitably sized oven dish. 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 Place on a griddle pan. Spread on half of your Sweet Potato mash, top with half your Black Beans, nutritional yeast cheese, a squeeze of Lime Juice and Seasoning if needed. Place a second Tortilla on top, press down to contain the filling.
5
Medium heat and cook 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! Guac, salsa, lettuce, tomatoes, jalapenos.
