Midterms season.

Sweet Potato Quesadillas
Aka my ultimate comfort food on days that cooking just isn’t going to happen.
Time required: 20 minutes
Equipment needed: Pan or skillet or George Forman grill 

Ingredients:
1 large sweet potato
1 tortilla
shredded lite Mexican cheese

Stab the sweet potato a few times and microwave 5-7 mins or until soft. Peel the sweet potato (careful not to burn yourself) and mash half the sweet potato with a fork. Spread the mashed sweet potato on one half of the tortilla. Cover with cheese (how much is up to you). Fold up tortilla. Grill until cheese is melted and the tortilla is crispy. Serve with salsa, guacamole, or eat plain.


You can make this in a pan or skillet, but I’m partial to the grill marks of my George Foreman.

Pro tip: the leftover sweet potato half makes a great late-night study snack when heated up with some peanut butter! Sounds gross but it works.
