Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium, diced Onion
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1.5 cups, shredded Plant-based cheese
- 8 medium, dairy-free Tortillas
- 0.25 cup, chopped Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 1 sliced Avocado
- 1 cut into wedges Lime
Directions
Step 1
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in the ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the beef. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to combine the flavors.
Step 5
Remove the beef mixture from the skillet and place in a bowl. Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel.
Step 6
Place a tortilla on the clean, dry skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of plant-based cheese over one half of the tortilla.
Step 7
Add a layer of the beef mixture over the cheese, followed by a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Step 8
Fold the tortilla over to form a half-moon shape. Press down gently with a spatula.
Step 9
Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
Step 10
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Step 11
Slice the quesadillas into wedges and serve with salsa, sliced avocado, and lime wedges.
