INGREDIENTS
- 1 Butternut squash (1.5 lbs)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon Cumin, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg ; freshly grated
- 1/2 cup low fat plain yogurt
- 1 zest of lime ; divided
- juice of half a lime
- 6-8 whole wheat tortillas
- 1 15 oz can Black beans ; drained
- 1/2 Green jalapeno pepper ; seeded and diced
- 1/2 cup Feta cheese ; crumbled
- 1/2 cup cilantro ; chopped, plus more for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Cut top off squash and then halve lengthwise. Scoop seeds out. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet (I like to turn the edges up to contain juices) with the flesh side up. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste, 1/2 tsp. cumin, and nutmeg.
3. Roast squash in the oven until fork tender, approximately 30 minutes. Place on a wire rack until cool enough to handle, then scoop out flesh and puree in a blender or food processor.
4. While the squash is cooling, make the sauce by mixing yogurt, half the lime zest, lime juice, remaining 1/2 tsp. cumin, and salt and pepper, to taste.
5. Equally divide the puree between three or four tortillas. Then layer on beans, jalapeno, feta, and cilantro. Place remaining tortillas on top.
6. Cook quesadillas on the grill or in a grill pan or large saute pan. Let cool one minute, then cut into quarters and drizzle with yogurt sauce.
NOTES
Can make with butternut squash puree.
