DIRECTIONS

1.) Preheat oven to 350º F.

2.) Prick sweet potatoes several times and place in oven directly on rack. Roast for 30 minutes, until sweet potatoes are cooked through, but not mushy. Remove sweet potatoes and let cool.

3.) Peel sweet potatoes and cut into 1" dice. Toss with maple syrup and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

4.) Bring salted water to boil over high heat in a large stock pot. Add the lobsters and cover pot. Bring the liquid back to a boil. When it returns to a boil, cook lobsters for 5 minutes. Remove lobsters from water. Let cool.

5.) Remove the lobster meat. Cut the tail into medallions and the claw meat into a large dice. Set aside.

6.) Place Mission® flour tortillas on work surface. Place fontina cheese on one half of the tortillas. Place lobster meat over the cheese. Sprinkle sweet potato, black beans, Serrano chile and cilantro over the lobster. Season with salt and pepper. Fold tortillas in half.

7.) Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook quesadillas until cheese is melted and the tortilla is golden brown. Repeat until all are cooked. Cut into quarters. Serve with Red Pepper Cream and Jicama Salad.
