This spicy quesadilla is exploding with flavour. It is a super-filling, healthy and satisfying dinner that everyone enjoyed. The recipe is from the Meet the Coup Cooks cookbook which is from my favourite vegetarian restaurant The Coup in Calgary, Alberta. I made a few minor changes to avoid using oil, and I baked them instead of pan-frying. They turned out so well! I can’t wait to eat the leftovers for lunch tomorrow!
2 medium yams, cut into 1 inch pieces
1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped
3 chipotle peppers in a can

In a large bowl mix yams, onion, salt and pepper and combine
Place on a lined baking tray and roast at 360F for 40 minutes or until yams are super soft.
In a food processor place roasted yams and onions, chipotle peppers, garlic cloves and blend until smooth.
On one side of each wrap place the yam mixture, black beans, spinach, peppers, green onion, cheese and cilantro.
