Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salsa Fresca

    In a bowl, combine diced tomato, finely chopped red onion, and chopped fresh cilantro. Squeeze in the lime juice, season with salt and pepper, and mix well. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Avocado

    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it with a fork and add a pinch of salt and lime juice to taste. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Quesadilla

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Place one tortilla in the skillet, sprinkle half of the vegan cheese shreds evenly on top, and drizzle some crushed avocado over it. Top with another tortilla.

  4. 4

    Cook the Quesadilla

    Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden brown. Carefully flip the quesadilla using a spatula, add another tablespoon of olive oil if needed, and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the quesadilla from the skillet, cut into wedges, and serve hot with salsa fresca on the side.
