Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups 1 1/2-inch cubes peeled seeded sugar pumpkin or butternut squash (from about half a 2-pound whole pumpkin)
1 finely chopped seeded jalapeño (about 2 tablespoons)
12 8-inch-diameter flour tortillas
10 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
2 limes, each cut into 6 wedges

Steps:

  • Cook pumpkin in large saucepan of boiling salted water until tender but not falling apart, about 10 minutes. Drain and cool 10 minutes. While pumpkin is still warm, transfer to processor; puree until smooth. Stir in jalapeño; season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide pumpkin mixture equally among 6 tortillas (about 1/4 cup per tortilla) and spread evenly. Sprinkle feta over each. Top each with 1/4 cup cilantro and sprinkle with black pepper. Top with second tortilla.
  • Heat heavy large skillet over mediumhigh heat. Cook quesadillas until golden and dark char marks appear, about 1 minute per side. Serve with lime wedges.

These quesadillas were a disaster! The tortillas were soggy and the filling was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. Maybe I just don't like pumpkin in quesadillas.

These quesadillas were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with less sugar pumpkin or maybe even no sugar pumpkin at all. Otherwise, they were good.

Not a fan of pumpkin in savory dishes, but these quesadillas were surprisingly good! The pumpkin added a subtle sweetness that I really enjoyed. The feta and cilantro were also great additions. I would definitely make these again.

I followed the recipe exactly and the quesadillas turned out perfectly. The flavors of the pumpkin, feta, and cilantro complemented each other perfectly. I served them with guacamole and sour cream, and they were a delicious and satisfying meal.
