Cookware
baking sheet pan · chef's knife · citrus juicer (optional) · colander · cutting board · grater · measuring cups · measuring spoons · mixing bowls · nonstick skillet · oven mitts · spatula · stirring spoon · tongs · vegetable peeler · whisk or fork
Directions
- Heat the oven to 450 degrees and lightly oil a baking sheet.
- Peel and dice the sweet potato, then coat the pieces with oil and your chosen spices. Arrange in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Roast the sweet potato in the oven, stirring halfway, until browned and fork-tender (about 15 minutes). Remove from heat.
- Meanwhile, slice the red onion into thin half-moons and cook in a hot skillet with a little oil, salt, and pepper until soft and golden, about 10 minutes.
- Whisk lime juice, oil, honey, salt, and pepper together to make a dressing. Toss the thawed corn and halved grape tomatoes with the dressing and set aside.
- Coarsely grate the mozzarella cheese.
- On each tortilla, distribute the cooked onion, roasted sweet potato, and cheese on one half, then fold over to close.
- Wipe the skillet, reheat it, add a little oil, and cook the filled quesadillas until the cheese melts and the tortillas are golden, about 2½–3 minutes per side.
- Add the mixed greens to the dressing and toss to coat to make the salad.
- Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve with the dressed greens on the side.
Two tips
- Prep ahead: roast the sweet potato and onion earlier in the day and rewarm when building the quesadillas.
- Serving idea: swap in a handful of pumpkin seeds for crunch, or add them to the salad for extra texture.
