2smallred skin potatoes peeled and cubed
1/2cupraw cashews
3.5tbsptapioca starch or potato starch this is for thickening the cheese - you need this!
Boil water on the stove and add the sweet potato, red skins and raw cashews and boil until soft (about 10 minutes).
Add the potatoes and cashews to a high speed blender with the tapioca, onion powder and salt and about 1.5 cups of the liquid from boiling the other ingredients. Blend until smooth.

Get a pan ready to make your quesadillas on medium heat. Add the cheese sauce to one side of your tortilla (add as much or as little as you'd like) leaving about an inch from the edge so it does not spill out.
Place another tortilla on top of the tortilla with cheese sauce and add it into a pan. Cook on each side for about 4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Cut into triangles + enjoy!
Notes
Pair with Cashew Sour CreamI used sprouted ezekiel tortillas for this blog but for a gluten-free version you can use Siete brand tortillas (I like the chickpea flour ones).
