I've already told the story of how sweet potatoes were paired with black beans, at least in my own personal history : ) This time I served them in quesadillas with goat cheese. I made the black beans and the sweet potatoes in the morning, so assembling and baking these was a cinch! (Particularly since I just got a toaster oven!). Serve with salsa and a nice, warming, red wine.Ingredients:
Black Beans:
3 cans of black beans
3 cloves of garlic
1 bunch of cilantro, chopped, including stems
Sweet Potatoes:
2 sweet potatoes, peeled and roasted
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
Assemble the quesadillas to your liking, and bake at 400 degrees for about six minutes. Goat cheese or gorgonzola don't spread, so just drop a few crumbles directly on your tortillas.

When I read of your sweet potato and black beans combination I had to try it. It was delish! I was interrupted by an important phone call and overbaked the wraps ( I had no tortillas) which made them crunchy like potato chips. They were very messy, but a bit of fun! I served these with salad and homemade tomato soup on a sunny fall day. Thank you!
What a great idea. I FINALLY made these (subbed pepper jack, just because I had it on hand). This combo is wonderful. Thanks so much for the inspiration!
