Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Whole wheat tortillas
- 1 cup Non-dairy shredded cheese (e.g., almond or cashew-based)
- 1 large Avocado
- 0.5 medium Red bell pepper
- 0.25 medium Red onion
- 1 cup Baby spinach
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil or avocado oil
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 1 medium Lime (for serving)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing the vegetables. Dice the red bell pepper and red onion into small, bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Peel and mash the avocado in a small bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and mix well.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add the teaspoon of olive oil and spread it evenly over the skillet.
Place one tortilla on the skillet and sprinkle half of the non-dairy shredded cheese evenly over one side of the tortilla.
Add a layer of baby spinach, diced red bell pepper, and diced red onion on top of the cheese.
Spread half of the mashed avocado over the vegetables, and then sprinkle the remaining non-dairy shredded cheese on top.
Fold the tortilla in half, pressing gently with a spatula to seal. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Repeat the process with the second tortilla and remaining ingredients.
Transfer the quesadillas to a cutting board and let them cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing into wedges.
Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve with lime wedges for squeezing over the quesadillas.
