- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
- Prepare the Quesadillas: In a skillet over medium heat, place a tortilla and layer half with shredded cheese, a portion of roasted sweet potatoes, and black beans. Top with more cheese and fold the tortilla in half.
- Cook the Quesadillas: Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
