Vegan Spinach Quesadillas

Ingredients:

For the filling:

• 2 cups fresh spinach leaves, chopped
• 1 small red onion, finely chopped
• 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

For assembling:

• 4 large whole wheat or corn tortillas
• 1 cup vegan cheese (such as vegan cheddar or mozzarella), shredded

For serving (optional):

• Salsa
• Vegan sour cream
• Guacamole

Instructions:

1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it starts to soften.
2. Add the minced garlic, ground cumin, and chili powder to the skillet. Sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until the spices become fragrant.
3. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until it wilts down. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Stir in the black beans and cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
5. Place a tortilla on a clean surface. Sprinkle a layer of vegan cheese on one half of the tortilla.
6. Spoon a generous amount of the spinach and black bean mixture over the cheese.
7. Fold the tortilla in half, pressing down gently to adhere the filling together.
8. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the folded tortilla in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until the tortilla is crispy and the cheese is melted.
9. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
10. Once the quesadillas are cooked, remove them from the skillet and let them cool for a minute before slicing into wedges.
11. Serve the vegan spinach quesadillas with salsa, vegan sour cream, and guacamole, if desired.
