    Sweet Potato Quesadillas
    Total Time
    25 mins
     
    Servings: 4
    Ingredients
    • 1 ½ cups diced peeled sweet potato, 1/2-inch cubes
    • 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
    • 1 cup thinly sliced red onion
    • 1 serrano pepper, thinly sliced
    • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
    • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • 4, 8 inch flour tortillas
    • 1 cup shredded pepper Jack cheese
    • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
    Instructions
    1. Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add sweet potato and cook, covered, until fork-tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and mash with a pestle or potato masher until completely smooth.
    2. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Add onion, serrano, cumin, oregano and salt; cook, stirring frequently, until the spices are fragrant and the onion is tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Wipe out the pan.
    3. To assemble quesadillas, spread about 1/4 cup mashed sweet potato in a thin layer on one half of each tortilla. Top with about 1 tablespoon onion mixture and 1/4 cup cheese. Fold the bare half of the tortilla over the filling.
    4. Heat the pan over medium-low heat. Cook 2 quesadillas, flipping once, until crispy and golden and the cheese has melted, 5 to 6 minutes. Repeat with the remaining quesadillas. Top with cilantro.
