Quesadilla is all about the Queso (Cheese)!
I love quesadillas, but let's be honest, it can be tricky to make them vegan and perfectly cheesy.
Here is my easy recipe for super cheesy quesadillas:
š½ Serves 2
š 30-35 minutes
Ingredients
Vegan cheese:
1/2 block firm tofu @beansupremefood
1/4 cup nutritional yeast @realfooddirect
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar @ceresorganicsau
1/4 cup tapioca
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/4 cup warm water
2 Tbsp chipotle sauce (optional) I used La Morena
1 can kidney beans
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp sweet paprika
1 tsp dried bell peppers
1 Tbsp cumin powder
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 red capsicum (chopped)
1/2 yellow capsicum (chopped)
1/2 red onion (chopped)
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil to fry
Tortilla wraps (I used @farrahsnz )
Chipotle sauce mixed with BBQ sauce to serve
Instructions
To make the cheese: Place all the ingredients in a food processor/blender and blend until smooth. Pour cheese to a saucepan and heat up constantly stirring. It takes 3-4 min until it thickens and converts into gooey melted cheese š
In a bowl, place beans and all the spices. Mix well until combined.
To make quesadillas: Heat up oil in a large frying pan. Place one tortilla. Fry for 1-2 min and flip. Place cheese, beans, capsicums and red onion on one half of the tortilla. Fold in half (see video) and press to stick together.
Enjoy!
