butternut squash quesadilla with caramelized onions on a plate served with avocado, salsa verde, chipotle cream & cilantro
  • Serves:  8
  • Prep Time:  40 min
  • Cook Time:  30 min

Ingredients

  • 6 cups O Organics® Shredded low moisture Mozzarella
  • 8 (10-inch) flour tortillas
  • 1½ cups Caramelized Onions
  • 2 cups Roasted Butternut Squash
  • 1 (15-ounce) can O Organics® black beans, drained, rinsed, optional
  • 2½ tablespoons vegetable oil

Chipotle Crema

  • 1/2 cup O Organics® sour cream
  • 1/3 cup O Organics® heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons chipotle hot sauce

For Serving

  • Thinly sliced avocado
  • Fresh cilantro, minced
  • Salsa Verde

Method

  1. Make the quesadillas. Sprinkle ½ cup cheese on one half of each tortilla. Top with 3 tablespoons caramelized onions and as much butternut squash and black beans, if using, as you like. Sprinkle with ¼ cup cheese and fold tortilla over the filled half.

  2. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Once the oil is glistening, working with one at a time, add the quesadillas and cook until browned, then flip and cook until browned and the cheese is melted. Remove from the skillet and repeat, adding 1 teaspoon oil to the skillet for every quesadilla.

  3. Make the crema. In a small bowl, combine sour cream, heavy cream, and hot sauce until smooth.

  4. To serve, cut each quesadilla in quarters and drizzle with chipotle crema. Serve with desired toppings.
