Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large flour tortillas
- 2 cups Dairy-free shredded cheese
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 piece Fresh lime, cut into wedges
Directions
Step 1
Warm a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, ensuring the oil is spread evenly across the surface.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the red pepper flakes, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Place one tortilla in the skillet and then sprinkle 1/2 cup of the dairy-free shredded cheese evenly over half of the tortilla.
Step 4
Sprinkle about a quarter of the mixed spices over the cheese for added flavor.
Step 5
Fold the tortilla in half over the cheese, pressing down lightly with a spatula to help it melt and bind the tortilla together.
Step 6
Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Step 7
Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and keep warm on a plate under aluminum foil.
Step 8
Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and repeat the same process with the other tortillas and cheese.
Step 9
Once all quesadillas are cooked, slice each one into 3 wedges using a knife or pizza cutter.
Step 10
Garnish the quesadillas with chopped cilantro and serve with fresh lime wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
