Quesadillas is one of my favorite quick weeknight dinner recipes where you can improvise with the ingredients as long as you have tortillas and cheese 🙂 There are some dishes that I have found work extra well with leftover ingredients, quesadillas is one of them! Here are some other dishes I can recommend:
- Pasta casserole
- Pie
- Pasta sauce
- Stew
- Soup
The basic quesadilla recipe is: tortilla + cheese + filling Here are some of the most delicious fillings I have had:
- Sweet potato + black beans +Â spinach
- Sweet potato + black beans + chipotle
- Shredded chicken + bbq sauce + corn + black beans
- Chorizo + potato
- Avocado + bbq sauce + shredded chicken

Recipe: sweet potato black bean and spinach quesadilla
Ingredients
- 8 tortillas
- shredded cheddar
- 1 sweet potato
- 1 onion
- 1 can black beans 230 g
- 8 handfuls fresh baby spinach
- 1 large lime
Instructions
- Wash the sweet potato then pierce it a few times with a fork, heat on max heat in the micro for around 5 min (time varies with your micro and the potato you use). You know when it is ready if a thin stick can easily pierce the whole potato.
- While the potato is cooking you can chop the onion and fry it
- Take the potato out of the micro (careful, it is hot!) and cut in half lengthwise
- Scrape out the potatoes with a spoon and place in a bowl
- Mash the potato roughly
- Rinse the beans and spinach
- Heat up a pan on medium heat with some butter
- Add one tortilla then spread shredded cheese on it, then add the filling on half the tortilla. Squeeze out a few drops of lime at the end.
- Fry until tortilla starts to get some color, then turn the empty side over the filling and transfer to your plate. Cut in 3 equal pieces with a knife or a pizza cutter.
