Ingredients
  

  • 1 large sweet potato peeled and cubed
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar or mozzarella
  • 4 large tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Boil sweet potato cubes until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash them with a fork. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add spinach and sauté until wilted, about 2 minutes.
  3. Lay out a tortilla, spread some mashed sweet potato on one half, add sautéed spinach, and sprinkle with cheese.
  4. Fold the tortilla in half and press gently.
  5. Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and cook the quesadilla for 3-4 minutes on each side until the cheese melts and the tortilla is golden brown.
  6. Repeat the filling, folding, and cooking process with the remaining tortillas.
  7. Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy with salsa or sour cream for extra flavor!
