Sweet Potato Quesadillas


1 1/2 cups onion, minced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsps dried oregano
1 1/2 tsps each dried basil, marjoram, chili powder, cumin
4 cups sweet potatoes, cooked and mashed
8 tortillas
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Saute onion and garlic in large pan in 1 tbsp oil until translucent.

Add spices and cook another minute.

Add sweet potatoes to pan and heat through, frequently stirring to prevent sticking.

Spread about 1/2 cup filling and 2 tbsps cheese on half of each tortilla, leaving a 1/2 inch border on the sides. Fold tortilla in half. Place on oiled baking sheets. Brush tops with oil. Bake in preheated oven at 400F until brown, 15-20 minutes. Serve with sour cream and salsa.

Variation: Use shredded raw sweet potatoes, sauteed with the onions and garlic until soft.
