VEGAN CHIPOTLE BUTTERNUT SQUASH & BLACK BEAN QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place cubed butternut squash in a medium bowl and add minced chipotles in adobo, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss until chipotle is well-distributed. Pour squash onto a large rimmed baking sheet and spread into a single layer. Place in oven.Bake, stirring once or twice, 25-30 minutes until fork-tender and golden in places. Pull from oven and set aside.
• Place a large saute pan over medium heat to warm up while you assemble your first quesadilla.
• To assemble the quesadillas, lay out one flour tortilla. Add 1/4 of the squash. Using a fork, mash the squash. Add 1/4 of the beans. Squeeze some lime juice over the beans and squash and cover with the second tortilla, pressing down to help the quesadilla hold together. Repeat with remaining three quesadillas.
• Cook, one at a time. Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the hot pan. Use a spatula/turner to distribute the oil around the entire surface of the pan. When the oil is hot, carefully transfer the quesadilla to the pan and cook until the tortilla is puffed and golden, then flip, cooking the other side until puffed and golden.
• Use the spatula to transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board and, using a chef's knife, cut into wedges. Transfer to a plate and serve with avocado crema or salsa.
