This is by far my favorite vegan recipe!!
The recipe makes a lot of quesadillas. It made 8. I loved the amount of food it made. It served me for two meals. I was full. I would next time add more cumin.
Mexican boyfriend says these should be called tostadas, not quesadillas. I made this with oil and salt to make it palatable. And then, still, it wasn’t a recipe I’ll make again. End result is not worth the effort. However, I do appreciate packing in so many vegetables into dinner. Recipe made 8 tostadas in total, enough to feed two adults.
Simple snack recipe to make. I added some extras like cilantro and a dash of vegan hot sauce.
Easy and healthy recipe but I didn’t enjoy the taste of the vegan queso. It was a bit too tangy from the lime. I have made nicer vegan cashew queso. It was also a bit too spicy for me. Personal taste I know, but I don’t think I will make this exact recipe again.
Does not taste like any cheese I have ever tasted… blaghech! Gave it 2 stars because it is better than most vegan foods.
I totally agree about the “cheese.” They need to stop using the word cheese or tuna “tu-no.” Don’t give people expectations about the WFPB recipes. They are delicious in a different way. Make up new words for these things and they will be more enjoyable.
Nothing will ever be the same as real cheese but there are alternatives like this recipes shows that’ll give it a cheesy favor. I use these ingredients or Daiya cheese all the time in my recipes and it works wonders because I can’t eat real cheese. This is a great tasting and healthly.
