Protein-Packed Vegan White Bean & Spinach Quesadilla

Step 1

If you’ve got 5 extra minutes, I highly recommend making the cashew alfredo. If you’re game, do that first!

Step 2

Then, heat up oil in a large nonstick skillet on medium heat. Add beans, spinach, red pepper and garlic with a good pinch of salt and plenty of cracked pepper. Warm until garlic softens and spinach wilts, stirring often, about 2-3 minutes. Lightly mash beans with back of spatula so they won’t roll out of your quesadilla! Remove from heat.

Step 3

Spread tortillas with pesto along one side. Divide vegetable mixture over pesto, then sprinkle with cheese and drizzle with alfredo, if using. In the same pan, give it a quick wipe and then warm over medium heat until tortilla is golden and cheese is melty, about 1-2 minutes a side. Hot tip: place another smaller skillet over the quesadilla while it cooks to make them crispier!
