Sweet Potato & Pepper Quesadillas
with Southwest Crema & Pico de Gallo
- Wheat
- Soy
- Milk
This quesadilla is jam-packed with flavorful roasted sweet potato and green pepper, plus two types of gooey, melty cheese (how could we choose just one?!). Of course, we’d never forget the toppings—there’s Pico de Gallo and dollops of spiced lime crema. Now for the fun part: piling on a little bit of everything to construct the perfect bite!

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Peel and dice sweet potato into ½-inch pieces. Toss on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. • Roast on top rack, tossing halfway through, until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• While sweet potato roasts, core, deseed, and dice green pepper. Halve, peel, and dice onion. Quarter lime. • Place ½ tsp Southwest Spice Blend (you’ll use the rest in the next step) in a small bowl and reserve for Step 4.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add green pepper and diced onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until tender, 5-7 minutes. • Once sweet potato is done, add to pan along with remaining Southwest Spice Blend. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Turn off heat.
• To bowl with reserved Southwest Spice Blend, add sour cream, a squeeze of lime juice, and a pinch of salt. • Stir in water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency.
• Place tortillas on a clean work surface. • In a second small bowl, combine cheddar and mozzarella. • Sprinkle half the cheese mixture onto one half of each tortilla. Top with cooked veggies, then sprinkle with remaining cheese mixture. Fold tortillas in half to create quesadillas.
• Wash out pan used for veggies. Heat a drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add quesadillas and cook until tortillas are golden brown and cheese melts, 2-4 minutes per side. TIP: Depending on the size of your pan, you may need to work in batches. • Cut quesadillas into wedges and divide between plates. Top with pico de gallo and crema. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.

Reviews from our home cooks
We really loved these. Never thought of adding sweet potato to a quesadilla but it was amazing
Seriously delicious! The sweetness from the sweet potato with the acid and spices was the perfect balance.
Perhaps a bit spicy with the green pepper.... but, for kids held back some of the filling and just went with chicken and cheese. Crema was FANTASTIC!!!
I love this recipe but I feel like I don't ever get enough sweet potato. I usually receive one small sweet potato and 2 would definitely be better
This was a great meal. My daughter claimed she didn't like sweet potatoes, but she ate her whole portion. The flavor is wonderful.
A bit messy to eat--there was so much in the quesadilla that it kept falling out. Overall, very good.
It is not necessary to waste the energy and dirty another pan to turn on the oven to roast the sweet potato -- rather, I simmered it in the pan before the other vegetables.
Loved the finish product, but a HILARIOUSLY small amount of ingredients. Not enough sweet potato, cheese, or sour cream. I would not order this again purely because I saw the ingredients and had to go to the store to get more and can recreate it that way.
Tortillas were a bit thin for the amount of filling but they didn't fall apart. Could use a little more sweet potato and a little less onion.
I made one portion a burrito. Delish both ways! Needs more protein included like black beans. Cabbage slaw for top could be good. Need a way to spice it up
