Butternut squash quesadilla surprise


I've recently started liking all things squash and pumpkin.  The latest and greatest discovery is butternut squash. Mmmmmm, delicious and so good for you.  I had a whole cup full of butternut squash puree left over from my butternut squash turkey chili left over....and I just couldn't resist not doing something fun with it.  So here it is...my mish-mesh of leftovers, random ingredients and a boat load of deliciousness:


Butternut squash quesadilla surprise
(for 1 quesadilla)

*the amount of ingredients is an approximation; I just eyeballed the whole thing
2 tortillas
~ 1/4 cup blended shredded cheese
~ 1/2 cup butternut squash puree
~ 1/4 cup chopped parsley
~ 2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon of butter

In a skillet melt 1/4 teaspoon of butter; once the skillet is hot place one tortilla in the skillet and wait till it warms up (about 2 minutes).  Flip the tortilla and spread out the cheese, butternut squash puree, parsley, secret ingredient, and brown sugar in layers:



 Place the second tortilla on top and flip the whole thing.  Let it heat up for about 2 min and take off the skillet.  Cut it up and enjoy.
