Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

4 cups leftover Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Mushrooms
4 flour tortillas, (10-inch or burrito-size)
8 ounces precooked spicy chicken (or turkey) sausage, thinly sliced diagonally
6 ounces coarsely grated Monterey Jack cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
Prepared fresh tomato salsa (optional)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Divide the vegetables evenly over half of each tortilla; layer with sausage slices, and sprinkle with cheese. Fold and press to seal edges. Brush with olive oil; transfer to two rimmed baking sheets.
Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until cheese has melted and tortillas are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Slice into wedges, and serve topped with sour cream, and, if desired, salsa.

Tips:

Fresh Ingredients: Using high-quality, fresh ingredients will elevate the flavors of your quesadillas. Look for ripe veggies, plump chicken, and flavorful sausage.
Spice It Up: If you enjoy a bit of heat, spice up your quesadillas with chili powder, cayenne pepper, or chopped jalapeños.
Cheese Choices: Experiment with different types of cheese for varying flavors and textures. Try a blend of cheddar, Monterey Jack, queso Oaxaca, or Pepper Jack.
Crispy Tortillas: For a satisfying crunch, toast your tortillas in a hot skillet or on a griddle before filling them.
Sauce for Dipping: Serve your quesadillas with a variety of dipping sauces, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, or pico de gallo.
