Sweet Potato Quesadillas with Cilantro Pesto

 

Quesadillas:

6 Sweet Potatoes, (cubed)

1 can Black Beans

2 cups Sour Cream

1/4 cup Cumin

2 slices cheddar cheese

Salt & Pepper to taste

Flour tortillas

Ingredients for Pesto:

4 bunches cilantro

25 cloves garlic

1/4 cup lemon juice

2 1/2 cup vegetable oil

Salt & Pepper to taste

 

 

 

 

 

 

Quesadillas preparation: Peel and cube the sweet

potatoes, boil until soft then mash, add sour cream

and cumin then mix well. Rinse black beans and gently

fold them into the sweet potato mixture. Add salt and

pepper to taste. Serve on flour tortillas topped with

2 slices of cheddar cheese and a side of Cilantro

Pesto sauce.

 

Cilantro Pesto Sauce preparation: Chop garlic, rinse

and shake dry the cilantro then roughly chop it. Add

to garlic. Add lemon juice. Puree in a food processor

until it is a paste consistency. Slowly add oil in a

thin stream. Keep mixing until a light green (pesto)

color is achieved. Serve along side Sweet Potato

Quesadillas.

ChupaNote: I thought 1/4 cup of cumin was a lot. And

it is, but spread across 6 potatoes and a can of beans

it works. I also added 1 T. red pepper flakes to the

mashed potatoes. I don't like cheddar on sweet

potatoes. Use the cheese of your choice that will go

with cilantro pesto (pepper jack, jack, Asiago?,).
