For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the sweet potato mixture.
Experiment with different cheeses, such as Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack, for a unique flavor profile.
To prevent the quesadillas from sticking, ensure the pan is properly heated before adding them.
Serve with your favorite salsa, sour cream, or guacamole for added flavor and texture.
