Sweet Potato & Pepper Quesadillas

15 min
Difficulty: 1/3
Mexican

This quesadilla is jam-packed with flavorful roasted sweet potato and green pepper, plus two types of gooey, melty cheese (how could we choose just one?!). Of course, we’d never forget the toppings—there’s Pico de Gallo and dollops of spiced lime crema. Now for the fun part: piling on a little bit of everything to construct the perfect bite!

Preparation
1
Roast Sweet Potato

• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Peel and dice sweet potato into ½-inch pieces. Toss on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack, tossing halfway through, until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

2
Prep

• While sweet potato roasts, core, deseed, and dice green pepper. Halve, peel, and dice onion. Quarter lime. • Place ½ tsp Southwest Spice Blend (you’ll use the rest in the next step) in a small bowl and reserve for Step 4.

3
Cook Veggies

• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add green pepper and diced onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until tender, 5-7 minutes. • Once sweet potato is done, add to pan along with remaining Southwest Spice Blend. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Turn off heat.

4
Make Crema

• To bowl with reserved Southwest Spice Blend, add sour cream, a squeeze of lime juice, and a pinch of salt. • Stir in water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency.

5
Assemble Quesadillas

• Place tortillas on a clean work surface. • In a second small bowl, combine cheddar and mozzarella. • Sprinkle half the cheese mixture onto one half of each tortilla. Top with cooked veggies, then sprinkle with remaining cheese mixture. Fold tortillas in half to create quesadillas.

6
Finish & Serve

• Wash out pan used for veggies. Heat a drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add quesadillas and cook until tortillas are golden brown and cheese melts, 2-4 minutes per side. TIP: Depending on the size of your pan, you may need to work in batches. • Cut quesadillas into wedges and divide between plates. Top with pico de gallo and crema. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.
