Every time I make these quesadillas, I’m reminded of cozy nights spent with friends, sharing laughter and stories over good food.

I love how easy they are to whip up, and they’re a great way to get creative with whatever veggies I have on hand.

Plus, they’re really satisfying without being heavy, which is a win in my book!

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

Ingredients & Substitutions

I love using whole wheat tortillas for a bit more fiber, but you can use any type you prefer. The nutritional yeast is key for that cheesy flavor, so don’t skip it! If you’re not a fan of black beans, feel free to swap in chickpeas or lentils instead.

Tips & Notes

  • I always keep some avocado on hand—it just makes everything better!
  • If you want extra flavor, try adding some fresh cilantro or lime juice to the filling.

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes, I’ll add some sautéed mushrooms for an earthy flavor.
  • You can also throw in some spinach or kale for an extra boost of greens.

Storage & Freezing

These quesadillas are best eaten fresh, but if you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for a couple of days. Just reheat in a skillet to bring back that crispiness!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can prepare the filling and store it in the fridge. Just assemble and cook the quesadillas when you’re ready to eat.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, combine the black beans, diced bell pepper, red onion, corn, nutritional yeast, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.

  2. 2

    Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the veggie mixture to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes, until everything is heated through and the peppers are slightly softened.

  3. 3

    While the veggie filling is cooking, take another skillet and heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

  4. 4

    Place one tortilla in the skillet and spoon a portion of the veggie filling onto half of the tortilla. Fold the other half over to create a half-moon shape.

  5. 5

    Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

  6. 6

    Slice the quesadillas into wedges and serve hot with avocado slices and salsa. Enjoy!
