Dinner Tonight: Sweet Potato & Spinach Quesadillas

This recipe might sound a little weird to some people but trust me it's super healthy and very tasty. This recipe is a great way to get fiber, calcium and beta-carotene into your diet.

Here's what you'll need:

• 2 whole wheat tortilla's (I use Joseph's brand, they're the best)
• 2 cups of spinach
• 1 small sweet potato
• Cheese (I use Weight Watchers American Cheese singles, but you can use any kind of cheese you like)
• Ground black pepper
• Non-stick cooking spray (I use Pam)
• 1 large skillet, 1 small skillet

First, poke holes in your sweet potato and put in the microwave on high until tender. Depending on your microwave, this is should take about 5 minutes for a small sweet potato.

While the sweet potato is in the microwave, cook your spinach in the small skillet.

When the sweet potato is done, scoop out the contents of the potato into a bowl and throw out the skin. Add ground black pepper or whatever spices you like and mix together.

Next, spread the sweet potato mixture onto one tortilla.

Spray some Pam or non-stick cooking spray onto your larger skillet and heat up at a medium temperature. Once the skillet is warm place your tortilla with the sweet potato mixture onto the skillet. Add your cooked spinach and cheese and then top with your other tortilla.

Cook on each side, continuing to flip the quesadilla every few minutes until it's golden brown.

Remove from the skillet, let it cool a little bit and cut into 4 equal sized pieces. Add some tomato or mango salsa, or any type of side you like and enjoy!
