Instructions

  • Sauté onion and bell pepper in a skillet with 1 teaspoon canola oil, garlic powder, a pinch of salt and black pepper for 4-5 minutes of until they are tender crisp. Add kale and cook for 1 minute longer or until the kale is wilted. Remove from heat.
  • Next build your no queso dilla. Lay a tortilla onto a flat surface. On one half, spread about ⅓ of a cup of sweet potato and on the other half spread about ⅓ of a cup of refried beans. Spread desired amount of sautéed vegetables on one side and fold the tortilla onto itself, gently pressing down so the middle is held in place.
