Why Make This Recipe

Easy vegetarian quesadillas are a fantastic dish for anyone looking for a quick, delicious meal. They’re simple to make, packed with flavor, and provide a satisfying vegetarian option. This recipe is perfect for busy weeknights or when you want to impress friends with minimal effort. With just a few ingredients, you can create a tasty meal that’s sure to please everyone.

How to Make Easy Vegetarian Quesadillas

Ingredients:

1½ tbsp olive oil
4 spring onions, thinly sliced
400g tin mixed beans in water, drained
1 tbsp chipotle paste
4 flour tortillas
100g/3½oz cheddar, grated
4 tbsp soured cream (optional)
1 lime, juice only (optional)
Handful fresh coriander, to garnish (optional)

Directions:

Heat the oven to 120C/100C Fan/Gas ½.
Heat ½ tablespoon of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the spring onions and cook for 2 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the mixed beans and chipotle paste, stirring well. Use a potato masher or fork to crush the beans into a rough purée. Transfer the mixture to a plate and wipe out the frying pan.
Add another half tablespoon of oil to the pan over low heat and gently wipe it with kitchen paper. Place one tortilla in the pan and top it with an even layer of grated cheese. Spoon half the bean mixture over the cheese and add another layer of cheese on top to help it stick. Put another tortilla on top and press down with a spatula. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the underside is golden.
Flip the quesadilla and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
Place the cooked quesadilla on a baking tray and keep warm in the oven. Repeat this step with the remaining ingredients.
If making the sour cream dip, mix the soured cream and lime juice in a bowl. Cut the quesadillas into quarters, drizzle with the lime sour cream, and sprinkle with coriander if you like. Serve warm.

How to Serve Easy Vegetarian Quesadillas

Serve the quesadillas warm, cut into quarters for easy eating. You can put a small bowl of lime soured cream on the side for dipping. Fresh coriander adds a pop of color and flavor. They make a great snack or a light meal!

How to Store Easy Vegetarian Quesadillas

If you have leftover quesadillas, let them cool completely before storing. Place them in an airtight container and keep them in the refrigerator. They should stay fresh for up to 2-3 days. To reheat, you can place them in a frying pan over low heat or pop them in an oven until warmed through.

Tips to Make Easy Vegetarian Quesadillas

For extra flavor, consider adding diced bell peppers or corn to the bean mixture.
You can use any cheese you have on hand if cheddar isn’t available.
Be careful not to overfill the quesadillas, as this can make them hard to flip.

Variation

Feel free to change the filling! You can add different vegetables like spinach, zucchini, or mushrooms. For a spicier version, add jalapeños or use a spicy cheese blend.

FAQs

1. Can I use different types of beans?
Yes! You can use black beans, pinto beans, or any other type of beans you prefer.

2. What if I don’t have chipotle paste?
You can substitute it with taco seasoning or any other spice blend that you enjoy.

3. Can I make these quesadillas ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the filling ahead of time, then assemble and cook the quesadillas when you’re ready to eat.
