Sweet Potato Quesadillas with Lemon and Cilantro



This is a wonderful little recipe, a subtle, but delicious taste. Prepared in a pan, the tortillas make for a wonderful crispy meal. The melted cheese will hang in strings from your plate.



I especially recommend adding a little avocado. It adds to the subtle varieties of tastes.



What you'll need for 5 quesadillas:


  • 3 pounds of grated cheese of your liking. Cheddar works like a charm.
  • 3 sweet potatoes
  • 1 avocado
  • 10 tortillas
  • Juice from 1 lemon or lime
  • Healthy amount of cilantro
  • Salt and pepper to taste
1. Peel and steam the sweet potatoes until they are soft.

2. Squeeze the lemon, chop the cilantro, put aside.

3. Add a little oil to the pan, add a tortilla.

4. Add cheese. Then, add chunks of sweet potato, generously top with lemon juice and chopped cilantro.



5. Add a little more cheese, top off with the second tortilla.

6. Flip when the underside turns slightly brown and crisp.

7. Cut into 4 equal parts and prepare on a plate. Garnish.
