These quesadillas are a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. I also like that they're vegetarian.

I'm not a fan of black beans, so I substituted them with corn. The quesadillas were still delicious.

These quesadillas were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

Overall, I thought these quesadillas were good, but not great. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I had some trouble getting the quesadillas to stay folded. I think I might have used too much filling.

I found that the quesadillas were a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less sweet potatoes next time.

I'm not sure why, but my quesadillas didn't turn out as crispy as I would have liked. I think I might have cooked them on too low of heat.

I made these quesadillas with goat cheese instead of cheddar and they were delicious. I also added a dollop of sour cream to each quesadilla.

I love that this recipe uses whole wheat tortillas. It makes the quesadillas a little bit healthier.

I'm not a big fan of sweet potatoes, but I actually really enjoyed these quesadillas. The sweetness of the potatoes was balanced out by the savory flavors of the black beans and cheese.
