Ingredients:  
2 large yams

¼ cup toasted pumpkin seeds
2 cups grated Monterey Jack cheese

Directions:
Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Peel yams and slice into 1/4" thick pieces. Spread them out (can be touching, not overlapping) on parchment-lined or lightly oiled baking sheet and roast until tender and golden ( ~20 minutes). Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium high heat. To assemble quesadillas, spread thin layer of maple-chipotle sauce over surface of tortilla (only spread on half if you like a little less spice), sprinkle with 1/4 of cheese, scallions, and pepitas. Add one layer of roasted yams on half of tortilla. Fold tortilla in half and place in skillet. Heat through until cheese melts and tortilla is crisp and light brown in color. Flip tortilla and brown second side. Slide onto baking sheet and keep warm in a low temperature oven while preparing remaining quesadillas. Cut quesadillas into quarters and serve with sour cream and your favorite salsa.
