Preparation

Step 1

In a small saucepan, cook the sweet potato in boiling water until softened, about 10 minutes; drain and return to saucepan. Add the beans and mash with sweet potatoes; spread mixture evenly onto 3 tortillas. Top each with chicken, cheese and a second tortilla; press to flatten. In a non-stick skillet, cook each quesadilla over medium-high heat until cheese has melted, about 4 minutes; turn and cook for about 2 minutes more. Cut into wedges and serve.

SERVING SUGGESTION: Serve a big spinach salad on the side.
VEGETARIAN: Use non-breaded faux chicken patties.
