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: Vegan Stuffed Jalapenos

Who says you have to give up cheese because you're vegan? You can find all kinds of plant-based cheese at your grocery stores. Here is a picture of cheesey stuffed jalapenos that I made not too long ago.

Mix chopped up vegan sausages (sauteed), vegan cream cheese, vegan shredded cheese, and chopped up green onion. Stuff them into jalapenos after removing all the seeds. Bake in the oven in high heat until you see stuffing bubble or lightly brown. I baked in 350F for about 20 minutes then raised the heat to 375F and then 400F for the next 10 minutes. 

How do they taste? I'm not going to lie; vegan cheese taste a bit different than regular cheese. But let me tell you that my meat-eating family really liked these too! Even if you are not vegan, maybe it's something that you can try as a healthier option for you or your family!

Bon appetit!
