How to Prepare Butternut, Kale, and Black Bean Quesadillas [Vegan]

Roast, sauté, or steam the butternut squash. If roasting, preheat the oven to 400°F. Toss the squash with a little bit of olive oil, sea salt, and pepper and roast for 25-30 minutes until tender.
In a sauté pan, add a small amount of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat.
Add kale with a dash a sea salt and pepper and sauté until wilted. Set kale aside.
In the same sauté pan, add a tortilla one at a time over medium heat to brown each side. You may need to add a small amount of oil if the pan is dry.
After tortillas are browed and slightly crispy, spread hummus on top.
Layer the kale, squash, and black beans, top with the second tortilla, and cut into triangles.
