Ingredients

14 oz extra-firm tofu, drained and crumbled

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 small onion, diced

1 teaspoon turmeric

2 tablespoons nutritional yeast

Salt and black pepper to taste

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 cup baby spinach

1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed

1/2 cup corn kernels

1 cup vegan shredded cheese

4 large flour tortillas

Optional chipotle mayo or avocado for serving

Instructions

1. Drain and pat dry the tofu, then crumble it into a bowl using your hands.

2. In a skillet, heat olive oil and sauté garlic and onion until softened.

3. Add crumbled tofu, turmeric, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper. Cook until yellow and heated through.

4. Add bell pepper, spinach, black beans, and corn. Cook until veggies are soft and spinach is wilted.

5. Lay out a tortilla, spoon filling on one half, top with vegan cheese, and fold over.

6. Toast quesadillas in a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.

7. Let cool for a minute, slice into wedges, and serve with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Use a nonstick skillet for the crispiest exterior and easy flipping.

Don’t skip the nutritional yeast—it adds a deep, eggy umami flavor.

Let the quesadillas rest for a minute before slicing to help everything stay together.
