Cooking steps

-
Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
-
Peel and dice sweet potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Toss on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper.
-
Roast on top rack, tossing halfway through, until browned and tender, 20-25 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

-
While sweet potatoes roast, core, deseed, and dice green pepper. Halve, peel, and dice onion; mince a few pieces until you have 1 TBSP (2 TBSP for 4 servings). Dice tomatoes. Finely chop cilantro. Quarter lime.
-
Reserve ½ tsp Southwest Spice Blend (you’ll use the rest in the next step) in a small bowl for Step 4.

-
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add green pepper and diced onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 5-7 minutes.
-
Once sweet potatoes are done, add to pan along with remaining Southwest Spice Blend. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Turn off heat.

-
In a medium bowl, combine tomatoes, cilantro, minced onion, a squeeze of lime juice, and a large drizzle of olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper.
-
To bowl with reserved Southwest Spice Blend, add sour cream, a squeeze of lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir in water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency.

-
Place tortillas on a clean work surface.
-
In a second small bowl, combine cheddar and mozzarella.
-
Sprinkle half the cheese mixture onto one half of each tortilla. Top with veggies, then sprinkle with remaining cheese mixture. Fold tortillas in half to create quesadillas.

-
Wash out pan used for veggies. Heat a drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add quesadillas and cook until tortillas are golden brown and cheese melts, 2-4 minutes per side. TIP: Depending on the size of your pan, you may need to work in batches.
-
Cut quesadillas into wedges and divide between plates. Top with salsa and Southwest crema. Serve with remaining lime wedges on the side.
