Ingredients
Method
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant and softened, about 2 minutes. Add the chopped spinach and cumin, stirring until the spinach wilts completely.
- Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the softened vegan cream cheese until it coats everything smoothly. Add the vegan cheese shreds, salt, and pepper, mixing until well combined.
- Spread the spinach mixture evenly over two tortillas, leaving a small border around the edges. Top with the remaining tortillas and press gently.
- Wipe the skillet clean and heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Carefully place one assembled quesadilla in the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottom turns golden brown and crispy. Flip carefully using a large spatula and cook another 3-4 minutes until both sides are beautifully golden and the cheese has melted.
- Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 1 minute before slicing. Slice into wedges using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
Notes
Don't skip wilting the spinach first to prevent sogginess. Avoid overstuffing and keep heat at medium. Let rest 1 minute before slicing. Store leftovers wrapped in foil in refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in dry skillet for 2 minutes per side. Can freeze cooked quesadillas for up to 2 months. Prep filling mixture can be stored covered in fridge for up to 3 days.
