Vegan Breakfast Quesadilla
Crisp folded tortillas filled with savory tofu scramble, black beans, vegetables, spinach, and melted vegan cheese, served with salsa.
Instructions
-
Step 1
Heat 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil in the frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper and cook until softened.
-
Step 2
Add the garlic and stir just until fragrant.
-
Step 3
Crumble the tofu into the pan. Add the nutritional yeast, cumin, turmeric, salt, and black pepper, then cook over medium heat until the tofu is hot and no longer watery.
-
Step 4
Fold in the black beans and spinach. Cook until the beans are hot and the spinach has wilted.
-
Step 5
Transfer the filling to the mixing bowl and scrape loose bits from the pan.
-
Step 6
Lay out the tortillas and divide the filling and vegan cheese evenly over one half of each. Fold the uncovered halves over the filling.
-
Step 7
Return the pan to medium heat and add the remaining 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil in batches. Cook the quesadillas in batches until crisp and browned, turning once so both sides cook evenly.
-
Step 8
Rest the quesadillas briefly, cut them into wedges, and serve with the salsa.
