Ingredients: (makes 2 wraps)
- 2 small sweet potatoes
- 1/2 can of low-sodium black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup of fresh kale, chopped
- 2 Mini-Babybel Light cheese circles
- Whole-grain wraps (burrito size)
- Pinch of salt and pepper
- Pinch of garlic powder
Directions:
1. Place washed and dried sweet potatoes on a microwave safe plate. Punture holes around the sweet potatoes with a fork. Microwave on high for 7-10 minutes or until the sweet potato is soft in the middle. Once the sweet potatoes are finished cooking, slice them open and spoon out the potato into a small bowl (you may need to mash them a little bit more with a fork or a masher to get a smooth consistency).
2. Place rinsed and drained beans into a small bowl next to your mashed sweet potaotes.
3. Place chopped fresh kale into a small bowl and add it your assembly line of ingredients.
4. Cut Mini-Babybel cheese circles into small pieces.
5. Assemble your wrap: place your wrap on a large plate and spread mashed sweet potato onto one half of the wrap. Top the mashed sweet potato with black beans, chopped kale (~2 Tbs), and cheese. Sprinkle the top with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Fold the other half over so it looks like a half-moon. Follow the same steps for the other wrap(s).
6. Place the quesadillas into a panini grill or a saute pan and cook until the cheese is melted and the contents inside are hot. Enjoy!!
