Perfect for a cozy fall meal, these quesadillas take about 30 minutes to prepare and are easy enough for a beginner cook to master.
Ingredients:
- 1 medium butternut squash, peeled and diced
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust for spice preference)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, pepper jack, or your choice)
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- Sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional, for serving)
Cooking Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Toss the diced butternut squash with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
- Spread the seasoned squash on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, until tender.
- Remove from the oven and transfer the squash to a mixing bowl. Add the black beans and stir to combine.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and place one tortilla on the skillet.
- Sprinkle a quarter of the cheese on one half of the tortilla, add a quarter of the butternut squash and black bean mixture on top, and sprinkle with another quarter of cheese.
- Fold the tortilla over and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Serve warm, garnished with fresh cilantro and sides of sour cream or Greek yogurt, if desired.
For ingredient substitutions, you can use other beans like pinto or kidney beans in place of black beans, or even omit them for a vegetarian version. If butternut squash is unavailable, sweet potatoes or pumpkin could serve as great replacements, each bringing unique flavors to the quesadilla.
Variations to this recipe can include adding sautéed bell peppers or onions for extra flavor and texture. You might also experiment with different cheeses, such as feta or goat cheese, to add a creamy dimension. Adding spices such as smoked paprika or garlic powder can further enhance the flavor profile.
For the best results while cooking quesadillas, make sure the skillet is preheated before adding the tortilla to achieve a crispy exterior. Use a spatula to press down on the quesadilla gently while cooking to help the filling meld and the cheese melt evenly. Additionally, you can cover the skillet with a lid for a minute to help the cheese melt without over-crisping the tortilla.
When pairing drinks with spicy butternut squash and black bean quesadillas, consider serving a reviving lime-infused drink, such as a homemade limeade or a light beer like a pilsner. For non-alcoholic options, an iced hibiscus tea or a sparkling water with grapefruit can complement the spice and richness of the quesadillas beautifully.
