Sweet Potato & Pepper Quesadillas

with Southwest Crema & Tomato Salsa

15 min
Difficulty: 1/3

This quesadilla is jam-packed with flavorful roasted sweet potatoes 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 a fresh tomato salsa 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 POTATOES

  • Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce.

  • Peel and dice sweet potatoes 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 potatoes roast, core, deseed, and dice green pepper. Halve, peel, and dice onion; mince a few pieces until you have 1 TBSP (2 TBSP for 4 servings). Dice tomatoes. Finely chop cilantro. Quarter lime.

  • Reserve ½ tsp Southwest Spice Blend (you’ll use the rest in the next step) in a small bowl 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 occasionally, until tender, 5-7 minutes.

  • Once sweet potatoes are done, add to pan along with remaining Southwest Spice Blend. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Turn off heat.

4
MAKE SALSA & CREMA

  • In a medium bowl, combine tomatoes, cilantro, minced onion, a squeeze of lime juice, and a large drizzle of olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper.

  • 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 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 salsa and Southwest crema. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.
