For the next installment of our TODAY Food Loves Football series, Fit Men Cook founder Kevin Curry is whipping up better-for-you game-day foods. In honor of the first Sunday Night Football game of the season, he is preparing Tex-Mex style black bean quesadillas for the Dallas Cowboys and crispy cauliflower tots for the Los Angeles Rams.

I love this recipe because it's plant-dominant and very tasty. The hearty beans, bold spices and crisp veggies make this just as filling and satisfying as a traditional quesadilla.

These tots are great because they're a perfect munchie snack without the bloat. They have all the crispness and flavor of potato-based tots but with less carbs and calories.
