Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 finely chopped seeded jalapeño (about 2 tablespoons)
12 8-inch-diameter flour tortillas
10 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
2 limes, each cut into 6 wedges

  • Divide pumpkin mixture equally among 6 tortillas (about 1/4 cup per tortilla) and spread evenly. Sprinkle feta over each. Top each with 1/4 cup cilantro and sprinkle with black pepper. Top with second tortilla.
  • Heat heavy large skillet over mediumhigh heat. Cook quesadillas until golden and dark char marks appear, about 1 minute per side. Serve with lime wedges.

I'm not a big fan of pumpkin, but these quesadillas were surprisingly good.

I made these quesadillas for my kids and they loved them. They are a great way to get kids to eat their vegetables.

I added some chopped walnuts to the quesadillas and they were delicious. It added a nice nutty flavor.

I used a different type of cheese and it turned out great. I think any type of cheese would work well in these quesadillas.

The quesadillas were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would use less oil next time.

I thought the quesadillas were a bit bland. I added some extra spices and they were much better.

These quesadillas were a hit! The combination of sweet pumpkin, salty feta, and tangy cilantro was perfect.
