We think you’ll love this quick and flavorful quesadilla. It includes onions that become golden brown, sweet, and delicious when caramelized. Pro tip: add a half cup of water to the pan while cooking and allow them to soften while you move on to the other steps.

INSTRUCTIONS

1
Caramelize the onions

Peel and thinly slice the onion. Place a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tbsp vegetable oil. Once hot, add the sliced onion and cook, stirring often, until browned in places, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add ½ cup water and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 3 to 5 minutes.

2
Prepare the produce and sauce

Halve the lime. Combine the juice from just half the lime, sour cream, cumin, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Stir the cumin sour cream. Peel and dice the sweet potato. Drain and rinse the black beans. Cut the remaining lime half into wedges.

3
Add the sweet potato

Add the diced sweet potato and ¼ cup water to the skillet with the onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potato is tender, about 6 to 8 minutes.

4
Assemble the quesadillas

Lay the corn tortillas flat on a work surface. Sprinkle just half of the mozzarella onto the tortillas. Top with the sweet potato and caramelized onions and black beans. Sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella, top each with a second tortilla, and press gently to seal.

5
Cook the quesadillas

Wipe the skillet clean and return to medium heat with 1 tsp vegetable oil. Once hot, add the first quesadilla. Cook until the bottom is browned, 2 to 3 minutes, and carefully flip to brown the other side, about 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate. Add another 1 tsp vegetable oil to the skillet, and repeat with the second quesadilla.

6
Serve

Cut quesadillas into quarters. Serve the sweet potato & black bean quesadillas with cumin sour cream and lime wedges. Serve any remaining filling on the side.
