Ingredients

• 2 pieces Grain-free tortillas (Whole30-compliant)
• 2 cups Fresh spinach
• 1 cup Cashews (soaked for at least 2 hours)
• 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Avocado oil
• 1 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the cashew cheese sauce. Drain the soaked cashews and add them to a blender or food processor along with almond milk, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of avocado oil.

Step 3

Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until wilted. Remove the spinach from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel, if necessary, and reduce the heat to low-medium.

Step 5

Place one grain-free tortilla in the skillet. Spread a layer of the cashew cheese sauce evenly over the tortilla.

Step 6

Add the sautéed spinach on top of the cashew cheese sauce, distributing it evenly.

Step 7

Spread another thin layer of cashew cheese sauce on a second tortilla and place it on top of the spinach, cashew cheese side down.

Step 8

Cook for 2-3 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula to help the quesadilla hold together. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until both sides are lightly browned and warmed through.

Step 9

Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for 1-2 minutes before slicing into quarters.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Spinach Quesadilla!
