Directions:Preheat oven to 400º.
Make Dip:
In small bowl, combine chile, lime juice, and sour cream.
Make Quesadillas:
Arrange squash, onion, and garlic in a single layer on a baking sheet. Drizzle with oil and toss to coat. Roast until garlic is tender. Transfer garlic to a work surface. Roast squash and onion until tender, about 15 minutes. Discard peels from onion and garlic. In food processor, puree squash, onion, and garlic with black pepper until smooth. Spread a quarter of the puree on each of 4 tortillas. Sprinkle each with a quarter of the bell pepper and a quarter of the cheese. Top each with a plain tortilla, pressing gently together. Coat a griddle with cooking spray. Heat it over medium-high heat until hot. Cook quesadillas, one at a time, until golden, about 3 minutes per side; transfer to a cutting board. Cut each into 6 - 8 wedges; serve warm with dip.
Note: Both the dip and the squash puree can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill. |
