- 1/2 cups Freshly Grated 50% Reduced Fat Jalapeno Cheddar Cheese (such As Cabot)
- 1 whole Whole Wheat Tortilla
- 1/4 cups Plain 2% Greek Yogurt (I Like Fage)

- Heat oil in a medium non-stick skillet set over medium heat.
- Add in the chopped onion and minced jalapeno and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add in the minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Reduce heat to medium low.
- Add in the drained black beans, cumin, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook, stirring often, about 2 minutes.
- Add in the pumpkin puree, hot sauce, and cilantro (if using) and stir until warmed through, about 2 additional minutes.
- Transfer mixture to a bowl and wipe out skillet.
- Sprinkle half of the cheese evenly over 1/2 of the tortilla.
- Spoon the pumpkin and black bean mixture evenly over the cheese.
- Top with remaining cheese and fold the empty half of the tortilla over the filling, like a book.
- Place filled tortilla into the clean skillet and cook, turning halfway through, until the cheese has melted and the tortilla is crisp, about 4 minutes total.
- Meanwhile, prepare the chipotle pumpkin crema: in a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, pumpkin puree, and hot sauce until smooth and well combined.
- Cut the quesadilla into 3 wedges and serve with the crema.
