Bean & Cheese Quesadillas

Bean & Cheese Quesadillas Recipe

By Veegs

🔪Prep Time: 15 minutes (not including time to make 15-Minute Refried Beans and Basic Cashew Cheese Sauce)

👩‍🍳Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

2 cups 15-Minute Refried Beans

4 flour tortillas (gluten-free if necessary)

Basic Cashew Cheese Sauce

Salsa and/or guacamole

Instructions

1Spread ½ cup of the beans on one half of a tortilla.

2Drizzle cheese sauce over the beans.

3Gently fold the other side of the tortilla over the beans and cheese. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

4Heat a large frying pan, preferably cast iron, over medium-heat.

5Place one to two (if they’ll both fit) quesadillas in the pan and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden and crispy.

6Transfer them to a plate and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining quesadillas.

7Serve immediately with salsa and/or guacamole.

8To make these quesadillas come together in a snap, you can prepare the refried beans and/or the cheese sauce in advance. It’s also a great way to use up any leftover refried beans you may have from making Mexican Pizza with 15-Minute Refried Beans. To ensure that this dish is soy-free, remember to use coconut aminos in the refried beans and chickpea miso in the cashew cheese sauce.

Earth of Maria

I’ve never been good at introductions because when they’re needed, I seem to forget every single interesting thing about myself. But I guess we’ll start with the basics. My name is Maria, and I am a twenty year old student from England. I study history at the University of Oxford and live in Brighton, but I was born in Russia and moved to the UK around ten years ago. I’m a vegan foodie (as you can probably tell by this blog), a lover of long walks and somewhere awkwardly between extrovert and introvert. Veganism and healthy eating are a huge part of my life, given that both have helped me overcome an unhealthy relationship with food. Finding balance took a lot of time and patience. But, as with many things in life, hard work proved 110% worth it! Whenever I’m not in the kitchen or working in my room, you’ll often find me at the gym, or at the grocery store looking for inspo for my next recipe.
