Another great recipe from Clean Food! I made these exquisitely easy quesadillas last night for dinner. These are completely vegan, I didn't tell my husband and he raved about how fabulous they were. In fact, I think he liked them more than I did! My two year old gobbled them up as well (and she's my pickier eater!)- so these are a real crowd pleaser. So, here's all you have to do- cut 8 oz. of tempeh into pieces and steam for 5 minutes. Once it's cooled you crumble it up and mix some salsa into it. When you are ready to make the quesadillas you start by oiling a non-stick skillet and then you lay down a rice tortilla (found in the freezer aisle of your natural food store) on top of that goes some vegan cheese (I used Daiya cheddar-style shreds), then half of the tempeh mixture, some shredded romaine lettuce, and more vegan cheese. Top that with another tortilla and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden and crisp and the cheese is melted. Repeat that whole process again to make a second quesadilla. It is literally minutes in the kitchen and you've got dinner. It might not seem like this would feed many either- but this meal was a great bargain- I have a family of four and we had leftovers! It was really filling and so satisfying. If you are looking to make a meal that will please meat eaters and vegetarians, this is the meal to turn to. It's also a great meal to make if you are new to vegetarianism or veganism and having a moment when you crave something indulgent- this recipe will do the trick- it's fantastic comfort food! LOVED it!
My rating- 9.5
