Ingredients
Scale
- 6 Whole wheat tortillas
- 1 cup Cooked black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup Chopped bell peppers (mixed colors)
- 1 cup Sliced mushrooms
- 1/2 cup Chopped onion
- 1 cup Shredded vegan cheese alternative
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For Guacamole: 2 Ripe avocados, 1/4 cup Chopped cilantro, 1 tablespoon Lime juice, Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add bell peppers, mushrooms, and onion. Sauté until vegetables soften, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Stir in the black beans and cook for 1 minute more. Remove vegetables from the skillet.
- Place one tortilla in the skillet. Sprinkle half of the vegan cheese over the tortilla.
- Spoon half of the veggie and bean mixture over the cheese. Top with the remaining cheese.
- Place a second tortilla on top. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese melts.
- Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling. Cut each quesadilla into wedges.
- To make guacamole, mash the avocados in a bowl. Mix in cilantro, lime juice, and salt.
- Serve the quesadilla wedges immediately with fresh guacamole.
Notes
- Feel free to use any vegetables you have on hand. Zucchini or corn work great too.
- If you prefer, you can assemble the quesadillas without cheese for a lower-fat option.
- Make sure your beans are well-drained to prevent soggy tortillas.
