Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
-
In a mixing bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
-
Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes on the grill in a single layer and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and slightly charred. Remove from the grill and set aside.
-
In a skillet over medium heat, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the red bell pepper, red onion, and corn kernels until the vegetables are softened and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
-
Place one tortilla on a flat surface and sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese on half of the tortilla.
-
Add a portion of the grilled sweet potatoes and sautéed vegetable mixture on top of the cheese.
-
Sprinkle another layer of cheese on top of the vegetables and fold the other half of the tortilla over to create a half-moon shape.
-
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.
-
Carefully transfer the assembled quesadillas to the grill or grill pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the tortillas are crispy and golden and the cheese is melted.
-
Remove the quesadillas from the grill and let them cool slightly before cutting them into wedges.
-
Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve the grilled sweet potato and corn quesadillas with sour cream, salsa, or guacamole on the side.
