Chipotle Vegetable Quesadilla with Cassava Tortillas & Avocado Cream

Why is it that every time you want to start eating healthy, you immediately crave all the bad things that you typically don’t eat to begin with! For me, that’s ice cream and cheese. Well, just because you are eating “healthy” doesn’t mean you can’t eat all the delicious comfort food that you really want, right? This recipe is just that.

Ingredients

• 1.5 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 Shallot, minced
• 1/4 C Chipotle with Adobo sauce
• 1/4 C BBQ Sauce (I used Head & Country)
• 1 Tbsp Coconut Sugar (or light brown sugar)
• 1/2 Tbsp Agave (or honey)
• Salt & Pepper, to taste
• 1 small white onion, sliced
• 1 Red Bell Pepper, sliced
• 1 Orange Bell Pepper, sliced
• 1 C Broccoli, chopped
• 4-6 Asparagus sticks, cut into small bite sizes
• 1 small Zucchini, cubed
• 1 Package of Siete Tortillas, Grain Free, Cassava Flour

Avocado Cream:

• 1/4 C Greek Yogurt
• 1 Avocado (peeled & pit removed)
• 1/2 lime, juiced
• 1/2 Tbsp parsley, chopped
• 1/5 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder

DIRECTIONS

1. Add Avocado Cream ingredients to food processor and combine until creamy and smooth. Scrape down sides of processor bowl as needed.
2. Remove cream to a small dish and keep in fridge until ready to use & clean food processor for next step.
3. Add 1/2 Tbsp olive oil, minced shallot, chipotle sauce, BBQ Sauce, coconut sugar, agave to your food processor and combine. Set aside until ready to use.
4. In a large pan, heat 1 Tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat.
5. Add your chopped vegetables. Season with salt & pepper and sauté for 5-10 minutes
6. Pour in your prepared chipotle sauce and stir until well coated and warm throughout.
7. In a separate skillet, over medium-high heat, lay your tortilla flat. Working quickly, sprinkle a small amount of cheese evenly over the whole tortilla. Then sprinkle with about 1/4-1/3 cup of your vegetable mixture. Sprinkle a little bit of cheese again and top with a second tortilla.
8. Let cook until golden brown on bottom about 2 minutes, then carefully flip to opposite side using a spatula. Continue to cook until golden brown on bottom.
9. Transfer carefully to a cutting board and cut into triangles using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
