Prick the sweet potato all over with a fork. Cover it with a damp paper towel and microwave for 6-7 minutes or until the potato is soft. Let it cool slightly, then cut it open and scoop out the cooked sweet potato.
Mash the salsa, beans, and sweet potato together until combined.
Spread ¼ of the mixture onto one half of a 10” tortilla. Top with cheese. Fold the tortilla over and set aside. Repeat with the remaining 3 tortillas.
In a large, non-stick skillet, spray with olive oil or drizzle with a small amount of oil and heat over medium heat for 1 minute.
Cook the quesadillas, two at a time, for 3-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
OVEN INSTRUCTIONS ONLY: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Place the quesadillas on a single layer on a baking sheet.
For a crispy exterior, spray or lightly brush the quesadillas with olive oil.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
