Ingredients

Avocado Salad:

Method

In large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; cook sweet potato and salt, stirring occasionally, until tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Add chilies and beans; cook, stirring, until heated through, about 1 minute. Scrape into bowl; wipe pan clean.

Heat same pan over medium-high heat; place 1 tortilla in centre. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup of the Monterey Jack; top with one-quarter of the sweet potato mixture and additional 1/4 cup of the Monterey Jack. Top with 1 tortilla, pressing to adhere; cook, flipping once, until golden and cheese is melted, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to cutting board; keep warm. Repeat with remaining tortillas, Monterey Jack and sweet potato mixture. Cut into quarters.

Avocado Salad: Meanwhile, in bowl, toss together avocados, cucumbers, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, oil and salt to coat. Serve with quesadillas.
