    Quesadillas with Sweet Potatoes, Zucchini, and Corn

    Published: Jan 19, 2013 · Updated: Aug 18, 2021 · This post may contain affiliate links.

    Vegan quesadillas are a  delectable meal, making it easy to get dinner on the table in a hurry. This combination of sweet potatoes, zucchini, and corn is especially delicious with salsa verde (tomatillo salsa), though it's great with tomato-based salsa as well. Photos by Evan Atlas.

    Makes: 4 large or 8 smaller servings

    • 2 medium sweet potatoes
    • 1 medium zucchini cut in half lengthwise and thinly sliced
    • 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
    • 2 cups grated vegan cheddar or nacho cheese
    • 1 to 2 small fresh hot chili peppers (such as jalapeño),
      seeded and thinly sliced, optional
    • Four 10-inch flour tortillas or 6 to 8 smaller ones, preferably whole grain
    • 1 cup salsa (any variety; salsa verde is delicious with this), or as needed

    Microwave or bake the sweet potatoes until done but still firm. Allow to cool, then peel and slice not more than ¼ inch thick.

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

    Combine the zucchini and corn kernels with a small amount of water in a medium skillet; cover and steam until the zucchini is tender-crisp, then remove from the heat.

    Lay a tortilla on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with a modest layer of cheese. Arrange ¼ of the sweet potato slices on half of the surface, followed by ¼ of the squash and corn mixture. Sprinkle with optional chili peppers, then end with another sprinkling of cheese. Top with another tortilla.

    Repeat with the remaining tortillas. If using smaller tortillas, divide the ingredients among them in the order given, in smaller quantities. Use an additional baking sheet if needed.

    Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the tortillas begins to turn golden and crisp. Watch carefully!

    Cut each quesadilla into quarters and arrange on individual plates. Pass around salsa for topping individual servings.
