How to Make Sweet Potato Quesadilla
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika. Sauté for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
- Add the grated sweet potato to the skillet. Cook, covered, over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are tender.
- Remove from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro.
- Heat a small amount of olive oil in a separate skillet over medium heat.
- Place one tortilla in the skillet. Spread half of the sweet potato mixture evenly over one half of the tortilla.
- Sprinkle with shredded cheese.
- Fold the tortilla in half. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Repeat with the remaining tortilla and sweet potato mixture.
- Serve immediately with sour cream or Greek yogurt, if desired.
