Meal Ideas: Vegan Fajita Quesadilla

 

I love quesadilla. Not only does it taste like heaven, it got me through my poor busy college years. I probably have made about a hundred of quesadillas in my life, and it was time to make another hundred or more in vegan style.


First, grill your veggies (I used red and yellow bell peppers and onions) in a pan with olive oil until they're soft. Set them aside in a bowl. Add some vegan cheese (I used Daiya chedder cheese) to your bowl of hot veggies and mix well. 

Place your veggies/cheese mixture in a tortilla and fold them in half. Place the tortilla on a pan and grill until your cheese is melted well. 

To upgrade your quesadilla, top it off with some avocado, sauce of your choice (my sauce is a mixture of veganaise, sriracha and ketchup), and cilantro. 

Now you have a beautiful quesadilla that you can bring to parties and impress your non-vegan friends! Or if you're like me, you can just eat the whole thing by yourself.

Enjoy!

Meal Ideas: Stuffed Avocado


Let's face it. Who doesn't like avocados? They're so rich and creamy; they're the gift from the Mother Nature. They just go with everything, and you can transform them into so many different things like savory pasta sauce to sour but creamy salad dressing to sweet chocolate pudding! 

Today, we are going to make something that will allow avocados to become the center of attention! What do you think about some stuffed avocados? It's very easy to make. Grab an avocado, slice them in half, and fill them with whatever stuffings you like!

I kept mine very simple and very leftover-food-friendly. In my avocado halves, I stuffed them with a mixture of black beans, corns, and tomatoes. Then I drizzled them with some sriracha. (PS: You will be amazed how magnificent the combination of sriracha and avocados is) Ta-da! That's it. So simple and so delicious!
