Super Easy Vegan Bean Quesadilla
Ingredients
Easy Bean Filling
- 1 19oz can beans, rinsed and drained (I used romano but black beans or pinto are great too)
- 1 tbsp taco seasoning
- ¼ cup salsa
- hot sauce to taste
Quesadillas
- 4 large flour tortillas
- ½ cup shredded cheese (use vegan if desired)
- 1-2 tbsp olive oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add the beans, taco seasoning, salsa and hot sauce. Mash the mixture using a potato masher until it's well combined. A little texture is totally fine.
- Next, pre-heat your pan on medium heat.
- Spread the bean mixture between the 4 flour tortillas spreading a thin layer on one half. Top with shredded cheese and fold in half.
- Add a little oil to the pan, and cook the quesadillas on medium heat until golden brown (about 2-3 mins). Flip, and cook the other side.
- Serve with your favourite dipping sauce such as guacamole, salsa, or chipotle mayo and enjoy!
