A great twist on a classic food! These make great appetizers, a fantastic late night snack, or a great light dinner paired with a snazzy salad. Try adding black beans for an extra twist!

Time 35m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups onions, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil
1 1/2 teaspoons dried marjoram
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
4 cups cooked mashed yams (or, 3 c. cooked mashed yams and 1 c. black beans)
8 whole wheat tortillas
1 cup finely grated sharp cheddar cheese
salsa (optional)
sour cream (to garnish) (optional)

Steps:

  • Saute onion and garlic in olive oil in medium skillet till translucent. Add oregano, basil, marjoram, chili powder, and cumin and cook another minute, till fragrant. Add mashed yams (and beans, if using) and stir till well combined and heated through.
  • Lay tortillas out on work surface. Spread 1/2 cup filling on half of each tortilla, leaving a 1-cm border at the edge. Sprinkle each tortilla with 2 tablespoons cheese and fold over, pressing slightly to spread filling to edges. Place quesadillas on lightly oiled baking sheets. Brush tops with olive oil.

I thought the quesadillas were a bit bland. I would add more spices next time.

I had some trouble getting the quesadillas to stay together, but I think that was because I didn't use enough cheese. Other than that, they were delicious.

These quesadillas were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. I would still recommend them to others.

I love that this recipe uses yams instead of potatoes. It gives the quesadillas a unique flavor and texture. I also liked that the recipe was easy to follow and didn't require any special ingredients.

These yam quesadillas were a hit with my family! The filling was sweet and savory, and the tortillas were crispy and golden brown. I would definitely make these again.
