Thoroughly enjoyed. I used a little vegan jalapeno jack cheese on each internal side and put avocado on top. Adding lime to the sweet potatoes was good--I don't like the sweetness so much, so that cut it. Thank you!

A "quesadilla" without cheese? A semantic impossibility! Whoever wrote this recipe must be from the East Coast. Nobody living within a thousand miles of Mexico would make this goof.

This turned out really well! I added some Queso Chihuahua and Avocado and it was a total hit. The only modification I might make next time is to tone down (maybe even to 1/4 t) the paprika on the sweet potatoes and add some ground cumin.

We really enjoyed this! We added a little Daiya fake cheese and that held them together nicely. Super tasty!

these look wonderful! just wondering, though, about how much those sweet potatoes weigh? a ballpark idea would be helpful!

Hmm. These taste great, but I had a lot of problems. There's no binding agent in the mixture, so when heating the tortillas and flipping them over, stuff falls out. Same with actually eating them. Nothing stays within the tortillas. Is this happening to others?

Unless you're vegan, I used a little Queso Chihuahua and did not have any issue.

Took more than 6 minutes to steam those potatoes! Otherwise spot on. I would never have thought to combine to make this on my own, but the recipe sounded good and was.

What do you do with the reserved cumin oil? The photo suggests that it is drizzled over the eggs, yet the recipe doesn't include that as a final step before serving.

What an original recipe! With lime, cumin, sweet potatoes - it almost sounds south Indian. GF and Dairy free, too! What's not to love ? Thank you.
