Comforting and spicy Quesadilla, made with a vegan meat alternative, topped off with vegan cheese. Warm, filling and naughty vegan food.
Ingredients
- 4 tortillas
- 200 g vegan ground beef
- 1 red onion finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 chilli pepper finely chopped
- 1 tbsp tomato puree
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp ground all spice
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt or more to taste
- 200 g vegan cheese shredded
Instructions
- Warm a pan over medium/high heat, add a splash of oil and cook the onion, garlic and chili for about 2 minutes.
- Add the vegan ground beef and cook this for 5 minutes.
- Add the tomato puree and spices and stir well, cook for 1 minute and taste for salt.
- Lay the tortilla on a flat surface, cover half of it with some shreds of vegan cheese, the “ground meat” and more cheese and fold it close.
- Warm a pan over medium/low heat and add a gentle splash of oil, place the tortilla, press lightly and cook with a lid until the bottom is brown and crisp.
- Flip it, press gently and do the same to the other side without the lid.
- Serve it as is or add some cilantro and sauce of choice. I used the blue garlic mayo from the cookbook. Enjoy!
