Stacked Veggie Quesadilla

Ingredients for Stacked Veggie Quesadilla

• 4 8-inch-diameter flour tortillas

• 1 230g package peeled chopped butternut squash, cut into 1/2- to 3/4-inch cubes

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided

• 240ml chopped white onion

• 1 15-to 450g can black beans, rinsed, drained

• 80g salsa, divided

• 2 garlic cloves, chopped

• 1 teaspoon chilli powder

• 120g coarsely grated hot pepper

• Monterey jack cheese

• 1/4 cup chopped fresh coriander

• Soured cream

• Additional salsa

• Fresh coriander sprigs (for garnish)

Preheat grill. Put tortillas in single layer on baking sheet. Brush with oil. Grill until toasted, about 3 minutes. Turn; set aside.

Place squash in microwave-safe bowl. Sprinkle water over, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave until just tender, about 3 minutes; drain. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté until beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Add squash; stir 1 minute. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Spread out squash in even layer over 1 tortilla. Add 1 tablespoon oil to skillet. Add beans, 40g salsa, garlic, and chilli powder. Using potato masher, crush until beans are coarsely mashed; season with salt and pepper. Stir in 60ml salsa. Spread over second tortilla. Sprinkle cheese over third tortilla. Leave fourth tortilla plain.

Grill tortillas until cheese melts and vegetables are browned in spots, about 3 minutes, watching to prevent burning. Transfer black bean tortilla to plate; sprinkle 1/4 cup chopped coriander over. Top with cheese tortilla, squash tortilla, then plain tortilla. Cut into 4 wedges. Garnish with soured cream, salsa, and coriander sprigs.
