Dice an onion and chop two sweet potatoes.

Heat burner to medium heat and add two tablespoons of olive oil to the pan.

Add the diced onion and cook for about two minutes until translucent.

Add the sweet potatoes, two teaspoons of chili powder, two teaspoons of cumin, one teaspoon of oregano, one teaspoon of paprika, and two cloves of garlic to the pan.

Mix everything together and add 1/4 cup of water to the pan.

Cover the pan and let the sweet potatoes cook for about 10 minutes without stirring.

Assemble the quesadillas by placing the sweet potato mixture on one tortilla, followed by rinsed and drained canned black beans, and then top with cheddar cheese.

Fold the tortilla over and place it back in the same pan, which has been sprayed with oil.

Cook until the bottom is brown and crispy, then flip to brown the other side and melt the cheese.

Once crispy on both sides, the quesadillas are ready to eat.
