Dinner 7/27/09

Sweet Potato Quesadillas, Beer Stewed Pinto Beans from Nava Atlas' Vegetarian 5 Ingredient Gourmet. Spinach salad because we all need more veggies. Cost: $23.00

Sweet Potato Quesadillas
2 medium sweet potatoes
4 oz. can green chilies, mild
8 tortillas, taco sized
1 cup grated cheese
Sour cream for topping

Cut sweet potatoes up and steam until done. Smoosh potatoes together with chilies. On griddle, oil the griddle, put one tortilla down, add sweet potato mixture and 1/4 cup cheese. Top with other tortilla. Flip after a minute or two. Cut into wedges, top with sour cream, serve.


Beer Stewed Pinto Beans
1 cup chopped tomatoes or can lightly drained diced tomatoes
4 cups cooked pinto beans
1/2 cup beer
1/3 cup fresh cilantro
4 oz. mild green chilies

Combine all ingredients in a large skillet and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer 30 minutes. If there is too much liquid, cook uncovered, until it thickens and serve.

  1. We all enjoyed this. Quesadillas are one of our favorite go-to meals, but I'd never have thought to make them with sweet potatoes. This meal was Dash-approved as well!
