Preparation
-
1) Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat, add the onion and chorizo and cook those until the chorizo releases a bit of it’s fat and the onion cooks down, about 5 minutes.
2) Add the sweet potato, season with a little salt, pepper, chili powder and cumin, stir everything gently and make sure the sweet potato mixture is in one single layer. Cook the mixture for about 8 to 10 minutes or until the potatoes develop some good color and are fully cooked.
3) Add the cilantro, stir it in and remove the mixture to a plate to cool down and wipe down the skillet with a piece of paper towel.
4) To assemble your quesadillas, lightly oil one side of the tortilla, working on one half of the tortilla, add a little cheese, top it with some of your filling and top that with a tiny bit more cheese. Fold them over to close them up and cook them in the same skillet over medium heat for a couple minutes on each side or until golden brown on both sides and the cheese is fully melted.
5) Serve these along some Lime Sour Cream and enjoy!
