    Vegan Bean and Cheese Quesadillas

    Jump to Recipe


    This is one of my favorite go-to meals or snacks. A vegan quesadilla. I love these Vegan Bean and Cheese Quesadillas because they are filling and savory and you can get creative with the veggies that you add to them. I love to load in the beans and add as many veggies as I can. The cheese acts as a perfect rich and savory accent.

    These take only about 15-20 minutes to make and are a huge crowd pleaser because quesadillas are such a familiar food. To make this recipe a meal I like to add a side salad or a side of Mexican rice, soup or skillet plantains. And guacamole or diced avocado is always welcome. Hope you and your family love this recipe for the new year!….

    Vegan cheese. Curious about which vegan cheese taste the best? Check out my vegan cheese guide.
