Vegan Red Pepper & Spinach Quesadillas

serves 2

The combination of the crispy peppers, soft spinach, melty vegan cheese, sweet tomato sauce and charred tortillas is heavenly. We gobbled these babies up in minutes.

What you need

• 2 gluten-free tortillas (I use brown rice)
• 2 cups spinach, chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 4 tablespoons thick / chunky tomato sauce
• 1/4 cup vegan cheese
• Preheat your quesadillas maker or pan over medium heat. Place the tortillas on a plate and zap them in the microwave for 30 seconds.

Spread 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce on each tortilla. To assemble one quesadillas, spread half of the red peppers on half of the tortilla, top with one cup of spinach and sprinkle with half of the cheese. Carefully fold the tortilla over (so you have a half circle) and place it in the quesadilla maker.

Close the lid and let it grill for 3 – 5 minutes, or until the tortilla is crispy and the cheese is nice and melted.

Repeat with the other tortilla. Cut in half or in mini triangles and enjoy warm or with a touch of fresh salsa.
