In keeping with this week’s focus on classic foods you can prepare using tortillas, today we’re going to focus on another longtime favorite: tortillas. In this case, these tortillas come with the cheese but also happen to include some tasty sweet pepper and chile roasted squash. Let’s begin with the ingredients.
- A small delicata squash
- Eight flour tortillas (six inches)
- A large red seeded sweet pepper cut into pieces of one-inch
- At least a cup of grated jack cheese (use more if you wish)
- A small red onion cut into pieces of one-inch
- A ¼ teaspoon of cayenne chile powder
- One and a half tablespoon of olive oil
- Half a teaspoon of salt
- A teaspoon of ground cumin
- Half a teaspoon of salt
- A teaspoon of smoked paprika
- Half a teaspoon of ancho chile powder
- Half a teaspoon of chipotle chile powder
Begin by preheating your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. While it’s heating up, cut the delicata squash in half, remove the seeds, and slice it into pieces of ¼ inch.
Grab a large bowl and combine the onion, squash, and pepper. Follow by adding the cayenne, oil, salt, cumin, ancho, paprika, and chipotle and then mix until the vegetables have been coated evenly with the spices and oil.
Use a baking sheet to spread the vegetables in a single layer and then roast until the squash is tender and crispy, it should take about 25 minutes or so.
For the quesadilla assembly, place four of the tortillas on a surface and top each one with a pair of tablespoons of grated cheese. Evenly decide the roasted vegetables among each tortilla and top with whatever cheese is left followed by the last four tortillas.
Use a skillet over medium heat to cook the tortillas until the bottom is golden brown. Flip it over carefully and repeat for the other side. Cut the quesadillas into quarters and you’re ready to serve.
