Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Spinach
- 1 cup Vegan shredded cheese
- 2 Vegan tortillas
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Heat a medium-sized skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is warm, sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes until wilted.
Stir in the nutritional yeast, salt, and black pepper, and cook for another 1 minute. Remove the spinach mixture from the skillet and set aside.
Wipe the skillet clean and reduce the heat to low-medium.
Place one vegan tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle half of the vegan shredded cheese evenly across it.
Spread the sautéed spinach mixture evenly over the cheese layer, then sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
Place the second tortilla on top and press down gently with a spatula to help it stick together.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, then carefully flip the quesadilla using a large spatula. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until both sides are golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board and let it cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing into wedges.
Serve warm with salsa, guacamole, or your favorite vegan dipping sauce, if desired.
