Dine on a Dime: Cheeseless Quesadillas

Serve up something a little different for dinner tonight with this easy, budget-friendly dish.

Yield: 4-6 servings | Prep time: 20 min. | Cook time: 1 hr.

Ingredients

• 1 large sweet potato
• 3 T. minced pickled jalapeños, roasted peppers, fried onions or other filling of choice
• Kosher salt
• 4 to 6 (8-inch) flour tortillas
• Vegetable oil, as needed

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Place sweet potato in pan and roast for approximately 40 minutes, or until a fork inserted into its center meets no resistance. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
2. Peel and discard sweet potato skin, mash flesh with a fork in a medium bowl. Add pickled jalapeños or your chosen filling. Stir and fold to combine. Season to taste with salt.
3. Spread 1/2 cup of the mixture over half of 1 tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Fold tortilla over and seal edges by pressing down firmly. Repeat with remaining filling and as many tortillas as needed.
4. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully add 2 folded tortillas and cook, moving tortillas around until golden brown and puffy on one side, approximately 2 minutes. Use a spatula to flip quesadillas, season with salt, and continue cooking until golden brown and puffy on the second side, about 2 minutes.
5. Transfer quesadillas to a paper towel and allow to drain, repeat with remaining quesadillas. Serve immediately.
