Recipe: Legendary kumara quesadillas
By
A vegetarian favourite in our house, this is a meal that’s low on meat and high on taste. Full of anti-oxidants and vitamins, it’s not just a taste sensation, it’s good for you too.
Ingredients
- 1 medium to large kumara
- 1 can of chopped tomatoes (Watties Mexican tomatoes are very good)
- 1 can of Mexican style beans
- 1 teaspoon of garlic purée
- 4 tortillas
- 1 cup of grated cheese
- sour cream
- guacamole
Chop the kumara into small cubes and boil for around 20 minutes until kumara is soft.
Mash and add tomatoes, beans, garlic and seasoning if desired. I quite like MasterFoods chili & lime. Simmer on a low to medium heat.
In a pan, heat a small amount of oil and add one of the tortillas. Turn every 10 seconds until the tortilla is crispy. Tortillas cook quite unevenly and can burn quickly so it is important they are turned often.
Once all the tortillas are cooked, place one on a plate and cover in kumara mixture. Place a second tortilla on top. Cover evenly with guacamole, then add cheese and top with sour cream.
This kumara mixture can also be used to make burritos or some yummy vegetarian nachos.
