Sweet Potato Quesadillas

Sweet Potato Quesadillas

1 large sweet potato, fully cooked, peeled and mashed
4 large tortillas (any kind)
1/2-1 cup shredded cheese blend
Salsa and/or desired toppings (sour cream, guacamole, etc.)

1. Spread sweet potato on 2 tortillas.
2. Sprinkle with shredded cheese.
3. Put top of tortillas on, to make a quesadilla.
4. Cook over medium heat on an omelette pan or griddle for 2-3 minutes each side.
5. Cut into triangles using a pizza cutter. Serve with toppings.

Notes: The sweet potatoes are creamier if you mash them will a little milk. We like using the whole grain tortillas and a blend of Mexican cheeses like chihuahua and queso fresca. Colby and brick are also pretty good. We've also tried putting the salsa in the quesadilla, but they get too thick and everything squirts out the sides. This recipe serves 2, but can easily be doubled or more.

Recipe Origination: I have no idea, so I'll call it an original.
