Yam & Pepita Quesadilla

18 November 2009 12 Comments

I have to start this by saying that it’s possibly the best quesadilla I have ever had. The combination seems strange but, even stranger is how well it works! I love roasted yams and put them in a healthy ancient grain tortilla with a mixture of monterray jack cheese and cheddar cheese (heavier on the first one) and toasted pepitas and you’ve got a meal that no one would turn down! I had mine with a little bit of Vegenaise with half an avocado mashed into it and some herbs + spices. This was a wonderful meal, and I think my family was jealous that I only made enough for myself! (Don’t worry, I gave them each a bite ;) )

Here is the quesadilla open in the pan and getting that cheese melted!

Oh, P.S., this is another one from Rebar. It’s just hit after hit with this cookbook!!

    You are killin’ me with that last shot (with stringy cheese, even!). What a way to use up seasonal veggies.

    Though I’d probably eat anything in quesadilla form, this is particularly interesting to me. It gets me thinking it will taste like a Latin version of my pumpkin lasagna. hmmm?

    Thanks everyone! The yam was definitely a strange ingredient at first glance for a quesadilla, but works ohhhh so well!
