Vegan Quesadillas with Homemade Guacamole
- 2 slices (thick) Yellow Onion, Diced
- 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Or Vegan Butter
- 8 ounces, weight Sliced Button Mushrooms
- 2 cups Loosely Packed Fresh Spinach
- 4 whole Corn Tortillas
- 8 ounces, weight Daiya Mozzarella Cheese Shreds
- 1 whole Avocado
- 1/4 whole Lime, Juiced, Or To Taste
- Salt, Pepper And Garlic Powder, To Taste
- 1 whole Small Tomato
- 1 Tablespoon Diced Red Onion
- Dice white onion and saute in coconut oil (or extra virgin olive oil, vegan butter) over medium-low heat until they start to brown.
- Toss in sliced button mushrooms, as much as you like.
- Mushrooms are my favorite, but if you dont like them, you can replace them with squash or zucchini.
- Once those are nice and juicy-looking, rinse fresh spinach and add to the pan.
- Season with some garlic powder.
- Transfer mixture to a bowl and set aside.
- Reduce heat.
- Make sure pan is lightly oiled and place a corn tortilla in it.
- Spread half the vegetable mixture evenly on top.
- Spread a layer of shredded cheese over the veggies.
- I also like to sprinkle some more garlic powder before placing another corn tortilla on top.
- Press down lightly on the quesadilla.
- Cover and let cook for about 5 minutes on each side or until tortillas start to brown and look nice and crispy, and cheese is melted.
- While quesadillas are cooking, start prepping guacamole.
- Dice avocado and lightly mash in a bowl until desired consistency.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice and add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
- (You can also take a small clove of garlic, mince it, and add to the mix for some extra spice.)
- Dice tomato and red onion for garnish.
- Take quesadilla out of the pan and place on a cutting board.
- Use a large, sharp knife to cut into 4 even pieces.
- Serve with guac, garnish with tomato and onion, and enjoy!
