STOVE QUESADILLA RECIPES

Steps:

• Sprinkle Cheddar Cheese (1 cup) over one of the Flour Tortilla (1), leaving a half-inch around the perimeter uncovered.
• Sprinkle with Green Chili Pepper (1) and Onion (1 tablespoon) and top with the other Flour Tortilla (1).
• Melt half the Butter (1 tablespoon) in a pan on the stove over medium-low heat. Spread around, and place quesadilla onto the pan.
• Add remaining Butter (1 tablespoon) to the top of the tortilla. Let cook for several minutes over low heat. As butter softens, spread over the top tortilla. Once bottom browns and cheese is mostly melted, flip the quesadilla over.
• Let cook until cheese is fully melted, and bottom is nicely browned. Remove from pan, cut, and serve with Sour Cream (to taste) and Guacamole (to taste).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375º F.  Prepare a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• An hour before you plan to eat, peel and quarter the sweet potatoes.
• Bake sweet potatoes in the oven for 45 minutes to one hour, until soft.
• In the meantime, prepare rice in a rice cooker or on stove top as directed.
• Remove sweet potatoes from oven and toss into a mixing bowl. Mash sweet potatoes with the salsa, rice and fresh spinach.
• Place sweet potato mash in a sauce pan and mix in black beans and refried beans, heating mixture thoroughly over medium heat.   Add onion powder, chili powder and cumin to taste and stir.
• Place a tortilla in a frying pan on medium heat, and slather the side facing up with sweet potato and bean mixture.  Add jalapeños if desired.
• Place another whole wheat tortilla on top.  Press down on top tortilla with spatula with pan on medium heat for about 3 minutes. Flip with spatula and cook for another three minutes.
• Voila! Cut into desired number of sections. Serve topped with salsa.
• Tip: Also try this with black-eyed peas instead of the black beans or any other favorite beans.
