Black Bean Butternut Squash Quesadillas with Chipotle Lime Crema

  2. Adjust seasoning to taste, if needed (add more chipotle chiles, more garlic, maybe a dash of salt, etc.).
  3. Set aside to thicken slightly.
  4. Meanwhile, make the quesadillas: In a small bowl, combine the butternut squash, cilantro, taco seasoning and lime juice.
  5. Adjust seasonings to taste, if needed.
  6. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the oil.
  7. Place one tortilla in the skillet; spread the butternut squash mixture on top.
  8. Top with the black beans, then sprinkle with the cheese (go ahead; you can add extra cheese if you want).
  9. Top with the second tortilla.
  10. Cook 3 to 5 minutes on one side until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and crispy.
  11. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook another 3 to 4 minutes on the other side until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted.
  12. Remove it from the pan to a plate.
  13. Cut the quesadilla into wedges.
  14. Serve with the crema on the side or spooned on top, along with extra cilantro and/or other toppings like salsa, diced tomatoes, sliced jalapenos and guacamole.
