#### Ingredients
- **2 medium sweet potatoes**, peeled and cubed
- **1 can (15 oz) black beans**, rinsed and drained
- **1/2 cup corn** (fresh or frozen)
- **1 small red onion**, diced
- **2 cloves garlic**, minced
- **1 teaspoon chili powder**
- **1/2 teaspoon cumin**
- **1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika**
- **Salt and pepper to taste**
- **4-6 tortillas** (gluten-free if needed)
- **1 1/2 cups shredded vegan cheese** (optional)
- **Olive oil** for cooking
- **Salsa, guacamole, or cashew queso** for serving
#### Instructions
1. **Cook the Sweet Potatoes:**
- Place the cubed sweet potatoes in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook until fork-tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and mash them in a bowl.
2. **Sauté the Vegetables:**
- In a skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and corn, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.
3. **Combine Fillings:**
- In the bowl with the mashed sweet potatoes, add the sautéed onion mixture, black beans, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
4. **Assemble the Quesadillas:**
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place a tortilla in the skillet and spoon about 1/2 cup of the filling onto one half of the tortilla. If using, sprinkle with vegan cheese before folding the tortilla over.
5. **Cook Quesadillas:**
- Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
6. **Serve:**
- Cut quesadillas in half and serve immediately with salsa, guacamole, or cashew queso on the side.
