Everything tastes better in a tortilla!!


Drink of choice this season- Vanilla steamer with dash of nutmeg

Cheese, blackbean, sweet potato, arugula, chicken quesadilla!

Chicken- grilled

Blackbeans- mixed with onion (don't tell Tyler), garlic, cumin and oregano

Sweet Potato- steamed and pureed

Arugula- tossed in hot pan with olive oil and salt just until wilted

Then layer it up on a tortilla- monterey jack cheese, thin layer of sweet potato, black beans, arugula, strips of grilled chicken, final layer of cheese! Walah!! it is finished!

Serve with a side of fresh mango salsa and veggie flaxseed tortilla chips. YUM!!

I found it to be quite tasty! Tyler, who was unaware of the food challenge asked, "Why the sweet potatoes??" I was a bit skeptical at first as well, but we have one rule in our house when it comes to eating- don't knock it till you try it! I think it added a yummy sweet taste with the salty.
