Sweet Potato Quesadillas

Passed along to me by a family friend. This is equally good but very different with goat cheese or cheddar cheese.

• Ready In: 40 mins
• Yields: 4 quesadillas

Ingredients

• 1  cup  finely chopped onion
• 1  garlic clove, pressed
• 2  tablespoons  vegetable oil
• 2  cups  grated peeled sweet potatoes (about 1 large or 2 small potatoes)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1  teaspoon chili powder
• 2  teaspoons ground cumin
• 1  pinch cayenne
•  salt
•  pepper
• 1⁄2 cup  grated sharp cheddar cheese or 1  cup  crumbled  goat cheese
• 4 (8 -10 inch)  tortillas
•  salsa
•  sour cream
•  avocado

Directions

1. Saute the onions and garlic in oil until onions are translucent. Add the potatoes, oregano, chili, cumin and cayenne and cook, covered for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently. When the potato is tender, add the salt and pepper to taste and take off the heat.
2. Spread 1/4 of the filling and 1/4 of the cheese on half of each tortilla. Fold the tortilla in half to cover. Cook by lightly frying on each side until browned and cheese is melted.
3. Serve immediately with salsa, avocado slices and sour cream.
