Kale and Sweet Potato Quesadillas

Our daughter is a mini - me of my husband not only in looks but in food taste. They love any type of mexican food and together they can go through a costco pack of tortillas in about two weeks (48 tortillas!!!).  Thus meaning I am always looking for ways to expand our mexican selection of foods in our house. We do a lot of tacos, nachos, fajitas, enchiladas, etc and everything is LOADED with veggies. I love making sweet potato and black bean quesadillas for example. My husband, being from New Mexico, can never get it spicy enough and our daughter loves the variety of what you can do with a tortilla! 

This week I wanted to expand on the sweet potato quesadilla so I added fresh organic kale. They turned out so good. I actually started out making a plain cheese and garlic quesadilla for our little but she wouldn't have anything to do with it. Instead she ate 1/2 of a loaded kale and sweet potato one. Love that my family craves veggies and loves fun quesadilla variations!
