Gluten and Dairy free Quesadillas!

¿Quesadillas sin wheat or queso? You bet!



Granted they aren't as melty as real quesadillas (though you could probably get that same melt with store bought vegan cheese), but they were a big hit. I try to stay away from store bought substitutes, but this could be made in a snap with Teese. The "cheese" is more of a spread, and I just made up the recipe as I cooked, so it is very alterable.

Tortillas
Brown rice tortillas from Trader Joes

Cheese (i will try to give rough measurements, very rough....just let your taste buds guide)
2-3 tbs. of yellow miso
1/4 c. unsweetened soymilk
1/3 c. nutritional yeast
1 tbs. wheat-free tamari (or soysauce if you don't care about the gluten thing)
1 tsp. mustard
salt and pepper to taste

Filling
olive oil
onion
corn
mushrooms
kale or spinach
pinto beans

Process
combine 'cheese' ingredients in a small pot over low-medium heat, starting with the miso and milk stirring regularly. add nutritional yeast/ milk until you get the consistency you like (nutritional yeast will make it more pasty, milk more runny...obviously)

in a pan heat olive oil, add onions and saute until golden. add mushroom, corn and beans. add kale/spinach right before removing from heat. season with salt/ pepper or cumin and paprika.

once you have the filling and the cheese, you can do the rest.
