Vegan Quesadillas With Chickpeas

Last updated on March 29th, 2020 at 04:39 pm

I finally made vegan quesadillas! They’re with chickpeas, some tomatoes, garlic and are so delicious. Especially when you add some fresh tomato sauce and guacamole! Mmmmm. Someone stop me. Or don’t.

You can whip these up in like 15 minutes together with the sauces and BAM you’ve got yourself a healthy dinner, or a healthy lunch. Or dare I say for those of us who want to intermittent fast our way to health, weight loss and success – LINNER. Dunch? Where did I witness this discussion, it was life changing. You know how sometimes you feel: I’ll never get those 5 minutes back? = that discussion.

How To Make Vegan Quesadillas With Chickpeas

Now I realized these shouldn’t be called quesadillas, right? There’s no cheese in there. Oh, well.

Well, basically you put some chickpeas with herbs, spices and vegetables in your food processor – pulse until combined, but not smooth – chunky. Place the mixture on one side of a tortilla, fold and then toast that thing in a pan with some olive oil. Until golden brown. I like GOOOOLD. Goldmember? Anyone?…

Then you flip, toast again until Goldmember is happy and then take it out. Place on a cutting board – cut and then eat. Sooo good!

I hope you enjoy this healthy vegan dinner recipe as much as me and my sister did – we didn’t leave anything for anyone else. Not even my year old nephew. But hey, these are spicy – he cannot have them.
