Ingredients
>
8 oz mild Italian sausages
>
cooking spray
>
1 cup chopped onion
>
1 (15 oz) can sweet potato or pumpkin puree
>
1 (4 oz) can diced green chilies, drained
>
8 multi-grain tortillas
>
1 cup shredded low-fat cheddar cheese
Steps
1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and arrange the sausages on top; prick the sausages with a fork. Roast 10 min., or until cooked through, turning once. Slice and set aside. Remove foil from pan and discard. Keep oven on.
2
While sausages roast, spray a non-stick skillet with cooking spray and cook the onions until they start to soften, about 5 min. Add the sweet potato purée and drained chilies and stir over low heat until mixture starts to bubble.
3
Spray one side of 4 tortillas with cooking spray and place spray-side-down on the baking sheet. Spread evenly with the sweet potato purée. Top with the sliced sausages, cheese, and remaining tortillas to make 4 quesadillas. Spray tops of quesadillas with cooking spray and bake 5–10 min. Cut each quesadilla into 6 pieces and serve.
Tips
Quesadilla cook-times are notoriously finicky, so don’t be afraid to give them an extra minute or two in the oven, to make sure they’re warmed all the way through.
