The Best Vegetable Quesadillas

flour tortillas

🥗Healthier: whole wheat tortillas

💰Cheaper: corn tortillas

Whole wheat tortillas add fiber, while corn tortillas are often less expensive.

vegan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: omit cheese

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories, and omitting cheese reduces costs.

Start with mushrooms, onion, and bell pepper as the vegetables.

Partially cook the mushrooms in a skillet until browned on one side.

Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet with the mushrooms.

Add the spice blend: onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, smoked paprika, pepper, and salt.

Cook the vegetables until softened.

Add spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted.

Lightly oil a wide skillet and place a tortilla in the pan.

Sprinkle cheese on one half of the tortilla and spoon some of the vegetable mixture on top.

Fold the tortilla in half and press down with a spatula.

Cook until the underside is toasted, then carefully flip and cook for another minute or two until the second side is toasted and the cheese has melted.
