The Super Bowl is quickly approaching but we still have some time left to plan a fun gathering, and of course, all the food we’ll make. I love this time of the year because even though I didn’t grow up watching American football, I  find this to be a great opportunity to spend time with friends and family, surrounded by good food and lots of fun while watching the game.

What’s my chosen dish to share with them? Quesadillas. Not very surprising, right? They are easy to make and everybody loves them, and the best part is that I can make them with whatever I have in the fridge.

Roasted Veggetables Quesadilla

In search of inspiration, I visited caciquedillaclub.com and found many delicious recipe ideas that helped me create the quesadillas I’m sharing with you today. The recipe that caught my attention the most was made with roasted Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, and bacon, so I played a bit with the ingredients and came up with an amazing vegetarian quesadilla, using roasted broccoli, onions and mushroom. I don’t think I need to tell you that these were a total hit at home.

What’s interesting about quesadillas is that they can be extremely simple or quite sophisticated, and you can use any ingredient under the sun to make them. You may add chicken or shrimp. Maybe a slice of ham. Some shredded pork. Whatever you like.

Quesadillas de Verduras RostizadasI used Panela cheese and roasted veggies for these quesadillas, and to give them a Peruvian twist I served them with chalaquita, which is a fresh salsa with avocado, and some Peruvian native potatoes that I roasted alongside the vegetables. I chose the purple ones just to add color, but choose whichever potatoes you prefer.
