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
Directions
Step 1
Heat a medium-sized skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Step 2
Once the oil is warm, sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 3
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes until wilted.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Wipe the skillet clean and reduce the heat to low-medium.
Step 6
Place one vegan tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle half of the vegan shredded cheese evenly across it.
Step 7
Spread the sautéed spinach mixture evenly over the cheese layer, then sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
Step 8
Place the second tortilla on top and press down gently with a spatula to help it stick together.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
Transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board and let it cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing into wedges.
Step 11
Serve warm with salsa, guacamole, or your favorite vegan dipping sauce, if desired.
