Vegan Quesadillas

Vegan Quesadillas

Quesadillas are all about the cheese - and this gooey, melty vegan version does not disappoint. Made with tofu, spices, and a bit of chipotle kick, it’s perfectly paired with seasoned beans, crisp veggies, and a golden, pan-fried tortilla. Dip it in smoky BBQ-chipotle sauce and you've got yourself a seriously satisfying meal.

Instructions:

1. 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.

2. In a bowl, place beans and all the spices. Mix well until combined.

3. 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.

4. Enjoy!
