We’re filling these flavorful quesadillas with a duo of cheeses, tangy pickled peppers, and tender bites of shawarma-spiced chicken. For a hearty complement, we're serving the quesadillas alongside roasted sweet potatoes with an herbaceous cilantro mayo dipper.

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the sweet potatoes; cut into 1-inch-wide wedges. Place on a sheet pan. 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.
Meanwhile, halve, peel, and thinly slice the onion. Roughly chop the peppers. In a bowl, combine the cilantro sauce and mayonnaise.
Pat the chicken dry with paper towels; place in a bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and enough of the spice blend to coat (you may have extra). Toss to coat. In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned chicken and sliced onion in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until the onion is softened and the chicken is browned and cooked through. Turn off the heat.
Place the tortillas on a work surface. Top one half of each tortilla with the cheese, cooked chicken and onion, and chopped peppers; fold the tortillas in half over the filling. Rinse and wipe out the pan used to cook the chicken and onion.
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 cilantro mayo on the side. Enjoy!
