INSTRUCTIONS

1
Roast the root vegetables

Preheat oven to 425°F. Combine sweet potato, parsnip, 2 tsp vegetable oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper on baking sheet. Roast until sweet potatoes and parsnips are golden brown and tender, 12 to 15 minutes. (4-serving meal: use 4 tsp vegetable oil).

2
Make mole sauce and finish the filling

Combine mojo rojo, lime juice, just 1 tsp cacao powder, cashew butter, just ½ tsp chili seasoning, and a pinch of salt in small bowl and whisk mole sauce until smooth. Add black beans and just 2 tbsp mole sauce to baking sheet with roasted vegetables and toss. (4-serving meal: use 2 tsp cacao powder, 1 tsp chili powder, 4 tbsp mole sauce). TIP: Add more chili seasoning if you prefer more spice. Keep remaining cacao powder for your own use.

3
Build quesadillas

Place tortillas on clean work surface and spread half the cream cheese on half of each tortilla. Top each with just ½ cup filling and small handful of spinach. Fold quesadillas to close and gently press to seal. Heat 1 tsp vegetable oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add one quesadilla and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining quesadilla. (4-serving meal: use 2 tsp vegetable oil). TIP: Add more oil to the skillet as needed to cook the remaining quesadilla.

4
Make salad and serve

Combine remaining spinach, remaining mole sauce, remaining filling, 2 tsp olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper in large bowl and toss to combine. Cut quesadillas into quarters and top with spinach salad. Dig in! (4-serving meal: use 4 tsp olive oil).
