These quesadillas are packed full of flavour and goodness, but are quick and easy to make. Served with some guacamole and salsa or a salad with a lime dressing and you’ll be sure to impress your friends!

At the bottom of the recipe are a series of options and alternatives should you need them, including vegan, low FODMAP and hacks to make the recipe easier.

Ingredients


  • Wraps
  • 2 – 4 cloves of garlic
  • 1.5 Tablespoon of cumin powder
  • 1 Tablespoon of coriander powder
  • 1 tablespoon of smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1.5 tablespoon tomato paste

  • 1 yellow bell pepper finally cubed
  • 8 chestnut or white field mushrooms (about 200g)
  • 1 tin / carton of black beans or other beans of your choice
  • Salt + Pepper
  • 200 g strong cheddar (we love smoked)

 Makes 2 fat quesadillas or 3 slender ones.
Serves 2-3

No sponsorship was received for this recipe in any form.

Method

Cook down the onion for 5 minutes, add the garlic and cook for a further minute.

 

Add spices and herbs and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, before adding the tomato paste and a splash of water.

 

Add the peppers to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes.

 

Add the mushrooms and the drained beans and cook for 5 minutes until the mushrooms soften but still hold texture.

 

Warm a wide, flat based pan with a teaspoon of oil. Once hot, place a wrap onto the bottom, sprinkle on some cheese and then spread some filling onto it, leaving 1cm around the edge. Sprinkle on more cheese and cover with another wrap.

 

Cook on low until brown and crispy (about 4 minutes), then flip and cook until browned on that side too. Repeat with the other wraps and the rest of the filling.

 

Cut the quesadillas into quarters, and serve with salad and/or guacamole and salsa.

Click on any of the below for some ideas for changing this recipe to suit you.

For a vegan option, remove the cheese. The quesadilla won’t stick together as well but it’ll still taste lush! Do just check that the wraps you buy are vegan too.

Unfortunately with garlic, onion, beans, mushrooms, gluten in the wraps and lactose in the cheese this isn’t a very FODMAP friendly meal, sorry! But the spices are key to making this dish so you could use a selection of vegetables and gluten free wraps to make a super tasty wrap.

Chopping is already minimal, but onions are available pre-chopped in the fresh section of most supermarkets. Pre-chopped peppers are also often available in the frozen vegetable section in supermarkets. Coriander can be cut using scissors if using a knife is a problem. Pre-grated cheese is also available. If you struggle with tins, Sainsburys sell black beans in a tetra-pak container that can be cut open with a knife or scissors.
