Black Bean and Squash Quesadillas
1 small butternut squash, peeled and cubed into 1/4" pieces
2-3 tablespoons Sriracha (depending on how spicy you want it)
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 can GOYA Low Sodium Black Beans, drained and rinsed and tossed with a teaspoon of Taco Seasoning
1 cup shredded Colby & Monterey Jack mix cheese
1/2 avocado
4 tortillas (I used homemade, but GOYA's 8" Flour Tortillas would be perfect)
1 tsp. GOYA Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1 small GOYA Jalepeno Pepper, sliced
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup sugar
For the Sweet Sriracha Marinated Butternut Squash:
Whisk together sriracha, honey and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl. In a shallow baking dish, toss together the sriracha mixture with the butternut squash until coated. Cover and let marinate for 1-2 hours.
Preheat oven and bake, uncovered, until soft, around 45 minutes.
For the Pickled Red Onions:
Put jalepeno and onion into a small bowl. Heat vinegar, water, sugar, and salt in a small pan over high heat, mixing until sugar is dissolved. Once boiling, pour over onions. Cover and let sit until onions are softened and liquid has cooled, about 25 minutes.
To make the quesadillas:
Heat large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the olive oil. Spread half the avocado onto one tortilla, and place it avocado side up into the skillet. Top with half the black beans, half the squash, half the pickled onions, and half the cheese. Top with another tortilla. Cook, carefully flipping once, until tortillas are golden brown and crisp and cheese filing melts. Repeat with the rest of the ingredients.
Cut into wedges and serve with salsa and sour cream.
