step-by-step
instructions
1
Prepare the ingredients
Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch-wide wedges. Halve, peel, and thinly slice the onion. Grate the cheese on the large side of a box grater. In a bowl, combine the sour cream, vinegar, and cilantro sauce. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.
2
Roast the sweet potatoes
Line a sheet pan with foil. Place the sweet potato wedges on the foil. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and up to half the spice blend. Toss to coat; arrange in an even layer, skin side down. Roast 26 to 28 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.
3
Cook the beef & onion
Once the potatoes have roasted about 10 minutes, separate the beef; pat dry with paper towels. Place in a bowl; season with salt, pepper, and enough of the remaining spice blend to coat (you may have extra). Toss to coat. In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until slightly softened. Add the seasoned beef; stir to combine and arrange in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 2 to 3 minutes, or until lightly browned. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until browned and the beef is just cooked through. Turn off the heat.
4
Assemble the quesadillas
Place the tortillas on a work surface. Evenly top one half of each tortilla with the grated cheese, cooked beef and onion, and 1 tablespoon of the creamy cilantro sauce. Fold the tortillas in half over the filling. Rinse and wipe out the pan used to cook the beef and onion.
5
Cook the quesadillas & serve your dish
In the same pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium until hot. Add the quesadillas. Cook 2 to 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted (if the pan seems dry, add a drizzle of olive oil before flipping). Transfer to a cutting board and immediately season with salt. Carefully cut in half. Serve the cooked quesadillas with the roasted sweet potatoes and remaining creamy cilantro sauce on the side. Enjoy!
