Yields: 1 (7-inch) quesadilla
| 7 points
My rating: 
I got the idea for this recipe from an awesome food store down
in NJ called Organica. I'm not sure how exactly they make theirs,
but this is my rendition! It's absolutely amazing and you will just
love it!
Difficulty Level: Very easy
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: >5 minutes
- 2 (7-inch) 98% fat-free Mission flour tortillas *
- 1 small (1/2 lb) sweet potato (If you are only making one
quesadilla, you will have some extra. 1/2 lb of sweet potatoes
will yield about 3/4 cups of mashed, which is enough for 3 quesadillas)
- 1/4 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup shredded Kraft Sharp Cheddar Cheese "made
with 2% milk" or Sargento Reduced-Fat Milk Cheddar
Cheese
- salt, chili powder, and cilantro to taste
- fat-free cooking spray
*Alternatively, you can use any brand
of low-fat tortilla(s). Try to stick to the 97% and 98% fat-free
ones. If you can find them, I highly recommend Tumero's
97% fat-free gourmet flour tortillas. One flour tortilla (and
they are big!) is only 2 points - just use one folded in half
to make your quesadilla. If you use one Tumero's tortilla folded
in half, your quesadilla will only be 6 points for the whole
thing! Experiment with the flavors... "Jalapeño
& Cilantro" is great, and so is "Chipotle Chili
& Peppers."

Peel sweet potato and chop into small pieces. Boil for about
10 minutes or until very soft. Drain and mash with a potato masher.
Lay out one tortilla. Cover with 1/4 cup mashed sweet potato, 1/4 cup
black beans, 1/4 cup cheese, and salt, chili powder, and cilantro to
taste. Cover with second tortilla.
Spray frying pan with a little fat-free cooking spray and fry your quesadilla
a few minutes on each side, until cheese is melted and beans are heated
through.

*Note that 1/2 of a quesadilla is only 3 points. The only reason the
whole quesadilla is 7 points and not 6 is because of the 4 g. "fiber
cap"
