How Do I Make Plant Based Quesadillas?

  1. Warm a skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and sauté the onions and peppers for 6 to 7 minutes until they begin to brown. Remove veggies from the pan, and keep the skillet on the burner over low heat.
  2. In a bowl, mix the cooked vegetables, chili powder, cumin, and garlic salt. Gently fold in the black beans and vegan cheese.
  3. Take 2 tortillas, and divide the mixture onto each.  Top each with another tortilla.
  4. Place in the skillet and toast for 2-3 minutes on each side.  Dip into your favorite guac and enjoy!

Dietary Modifications

  • This recipe is plant based, but be sure you are using a vegan and dairy-free cheese, or omitting the cheese all together.
  • To make gluten free, use a certified gluten free corn tortilla instead of a flour tortilla, and be sure all ingredients are certified gluten free.
  • Made with black beans, this is a great high protein lunch or dinner option. A great way to get in that healthy plant protein.
