Walnut Quesadillas

Delicious and quick with vegan cheese and walnut spread

The walnut part of sinfully delicious Walnut Quesadillas is the walnut olive spread, to go with the spinach, arugula & dairy free Daiya mozzarella style shreds, which melt beautifully!

Use any kind of cheese you choose. And any medium sized tortilla will work, as long as you like it and it likes you.

FYI: This quesadilla recipe is high in fat, sodium and carbs.

Total prep & cook time: 20 - 40 minutes, depending on how many frying pans you have and how hot they are.

Ingredients:

8 medium tortillas (6 – 8 inches diameter)
1 recipe walnut olive spread
8 ounce package of vegan mozzarella style cheese shreds
2 cups pre-washed baby spinach
2 cups pre-washed arugula

Directions:

Preheat a medium frying pan on medium heat
Coarsely chop the spinach and arugula
Spread 1/4 of the walnut spread on 4 tortillas
On each of the 4 remaining tortillas, spread ¼ of the cheese shreds, and 1/4 of the chopped baby spinach and arugula
Place the walnut spread tortillas on top of the cheese and greens tortillas
Heat each quesadilla cheese side down in the pan for 2 - 5 minutes or until it starts to get brown and the cheesy shreds are melting
Turn each quesadilla over carefully and heat for 2 - 5 minutes on the other side. Remove from pan when done, slice into 6 wedges and serve

Cooking Tips:

I made up this recipe to try out the Daiya dairy free cheesy shreds I had just bought. But of course you should use whatever kind of mozzarella cheese shreds you like.

I used gluten free millet & flax lavash bread from Sami’s Bakery, Tampa FL. It’s fantastic! But our nutrition data is based on a regular white flour tortilla.

If you have more than one frying pan, I encourage you to heat up to 4 pans to make the cooking part of this recipe go as fast as the assembling – so everybody can start wolfing these quesadillas down the second they’re cut up.
