Description
Indulge in a deliciously satisfying meal that’s both healthy and cruelty-free with these Vegan Spinach Mushroom Quesadillas!
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 flour tortillas (8-inch)
- 2 cups chopped fresh spinach
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms (button, cremini, or portobello)
- ½ cup shredded vegan cheese (mozzarella-style or cheddar blend)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil (plus extra for cooking)
- ½ tsp smoked paprika (optional)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Optional: chopped fresh herbs (parsley or chives)
Instructions
- To start, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add minced garlic, allowing it to sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Next, stir in the sliced mushrooms and allow them to brown, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes. Once they’re nicely browned, fold in the chopped spinach, cooking just until it wilts.
- Now it’s time for assembly. Gently heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place one tortilla on the skillet and sprinkle half of the shredded vegan cheese on one half of the tortilla. Add half of the sautéed spinach and mushroom mixture over the cheese. Carefully fold the tortilla in half.
- Cook your quesadilla for about 2 to 3 minutes on one side until golden brown and crispy. Flip it over and repeat the process for the other side.

These quesadillas can easily be customized with different spices or vegetables based on your preferences. They are also kid-friendly and great for a quick meal!
