Quesadillas have always been a simple go-to meal for me ever since I was little! They are definitely one of my favorite comfort foods. During a recent camping trip I realized I had all of the ingredients to make a delicious sweet potato quesadilla! Fun to make and so satisfying. Cutting out dairy from your diet is easier than you might think....and by doing so, you are helping to cut back on the greenhouse gas methane! Plus, sweet potatoes are such a great source of vitamins and minerals, like beta carotene, vitamin C and potassium! I also highly recommend Daiya brand vegan mozzarella cheese, it melts very well and tastes great.

INGREDIENTS:

  • Corn or flour tortillas - I used corn

  • Daiya Mozzarella

  • Pre-cooked and cubed sweet potatoes

  • Diced green pepper

  • Diced yellow onion

  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil

TO MAKE:

  • Heat oil in a pan over medium heat

  • Top open tortilla with cheese, potatoes and veggies and fold over

  • Place folded tortilla in the oil, cook both sides until brown and crisp

  • Remove and enjoy!
