Quesadillas de Papa are a delightful and satisfying Mexican breakfast dish featuring crispy tortillas stuffed with seasoned mashed potatoes. This dairy-free recipe is perfect for a hearty start to your day, offering a unique twist on traditional quesadillas.

Ingredients

• Flour tortillas - 4 medium
• Potatoes - 400 grams, peeled and chopped
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Avocado - 1 medium, sliced (for serving)
• Salsa - to taste (for serving)

Steps

1. Boil the chopped potatoes in a pot of salted water for about 15 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside.
2. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the onion and garlic until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the cooked potatoes to the skillet along with cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mash the potatoes slightly and mix well with the onion and garlic. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro.
4. Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place one tortilla in the skillet and spread a generous amount of the potato mixture on one half of the tortilla. Fold the tortilla over to form a half-moon shape.
5. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden and crispy. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
6. Serve the quesadillas warm, garnished with sliced avocado and your choice of salsa.
