    From the Test Kitchen

    In these crispy quesadillas, two types of cheese—smoked gouda and cheddar cheese curds—delightfully melt around a rich filling of tender mushrooms and onion sautéed in a smoky-sweet combination of chipotle chile paste and honey. A side of roasted sweet potato wedges with a garlic mayo dipper round out this flavorful dish.

    Prepare & roast sweet potato wedges
    1 Prepare & roast sweet potato wedges

    Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Line a sheet pan with foil. Cut the sweet potato into 1-inch-wide wedges. Place on the foil. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; toss to coat. Arrange in an even layer. Roast 26 to 28 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.

    2 Prepare the remaining ingredients

    Meanwhile, thinly slice the mushrooms. Halve, peel, and thinly slice the onion. Grate the gouda on the large side of a box grater. Roughly chop the cheese curds. Peel 2 cloves of garlic; using a zester or the small side of a box grater, finely grate into a paste. In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of water, and as much of the garlic paste as you'd like; season with salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, combine the honey, 1 tablespoon of water, and as much of the chile paste as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be.

    3 Make the filling

    In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the chorizo. Cook, without stirring, 2 to 3 minutes, or until browned. Add the sliced mushrooms and sliced onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently and breaking the meat apart with a spoon, 5 to 6 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and the chorizo is cooked through. Add the honey-chipotle sauce. Cook, stirring constantly, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until thoroughly combined. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the grated gouda and chopped cheese curds; stir to combine. Rinse and wipe out the pan.

    Place the tortillas on a work surface. Top one half of each tortilla with the filling; fold the tortillas in half over the filling. In the same pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium until hot. Working in batches, 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; immediately season with salt. Carefully cut each quesadilla into thirds. Serve the cooked quesadillas with the roasted sweet potato wedges. Drizzle the potatoes with the garlic mayo and garnish with the pepitas. Enjoy!
