The Best Vegan Quesadillas Recipe

Since I created my Vegan Burrito Samosas recipe, I‘m absolutely crazy about simple Mexican meals which are packed with flavorful spices and healthy veggies. Not only do they fill you up and taste delicious but they’re also super easy and quick to make. When I‘m not in the mood to fold samosas or I don’t have much time, then I prefer making these easy Vegan Sweet Potato Quesadillas which are ready in less than 20 minutes!

Vegan Sweet Potato Quesadillas with a healthy filling

The great thing about this recipe is that you can vary the fillings as you like. You can make them with vegan cheese only or add your favorite veggies. I like them best with a sweet potato, black bean and corn mix which is super quick to make. Also, I like to add fresh herbs and greens, such as spinach, for extra vitamins. This filling is definitely my favorite combination for vegan quesadillas. It’s packed with healthy ingredients, contains plant-based protein from beans and it’s really so delicious you will likely want to use it for all sorts of other things. Topped with guacamole and vegan cheese these Vegan Sweet Potato Quesadillas are totally divine.

I think this is a perfect lunch or dinner meal but to me it also fits pretty well as a savoury breakfast food. What do you prefer? Breakfast, lunch or dinner? I think it fits well for any occasion. Also, as a snack for a party or for a cozy evening with friends.

Serve with different Dips

These Vegan Sweet Potato Quesadillas taste delicious on their own, but they‘re even better when served with Dips, such as Guacamole, creamy Cashew Dip and Hummus. There are many people who like adding avocado as filling. Honestly, I don’t like baked avocado so much but feel free to add it also as filling. I like a simple creamy green guacamole with flavorful garlic and a splash of squeezed lime + sea salt and black pepper best!

Ingredients

For the Filling:

  • 1-2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 sweet potato (about 9 oz) grated
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp chili (optional)
  • ½ tsp cumin (optional)
  • 1 handful of baby spinach
  • 1 cup black beans cooked or canned
  • ½ cup corn cooked or canned
  • 2-3 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • salt, pepper to taste

For the Quesadillas:

  • 6 (gluten-free) tortillas* about 7.5-inch
  • 1 cup vegan cheese grated
  • 3 tsp oil

Instructions

*Note: Check out the recipe video + step-by-step pictures above!

    Sweet Potato Filling:

    • Heat the oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add the grated sweet potato and roast for 30 seconds. Then add the spices and stir to combine.

    • Once the pan is sizzling, add a little bit of water, then cover the pan and reduce heat to low to avoid burning the contents. Cook for about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    • Add baby spinach, stir to combine and cook for about further 2 minutes, until the sweet potato is tender and cooked through.

    • Stir in beans, corn, and parsley and cook for 1 minute longer, or until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    Quesadillas (see step-by-step photos):

    • Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and brush with a little bit of oil.

    • Spread about 3 tbsp of the filling evenly over half of 1 tortilla, leaving an ½-inch border. Cover filling with grated cheese and fold over the empty side of the tortilla, pressing down carefully by using a spatula, so that it sticks a little. (You can place 2 folded tortillas at a time in the pan).

    • Cook for about 2-3 minutes, flip and cook from the other side until golden and crispy.

    • Repeat with remaining filling and as many tortillas as needed (about 4-6, depending on the exact size).

    • Transfer quesadillas to a cutting board. Slice each quesadilla into three even wedges using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.

    • Serve immediately, with guacamole or other dips of choice. Enjoy!

    Notes

    • Make this recipe gluten-free by using gluten-free tortillas.
    • Leftover quesadillas can be wrapped and stored in the refrigerator for a few days. Simply reheat in the microwave or in the oven before serving.

    FAQs

    What is the TikTok quesadilla hack? ›

    Simply slice a tortilla halfway through, add different fillings to each of the four quadrants, do some folding, brown it in a pan and voilà! You have a delicious, healthy lunch ready in minutes.

    How to make simple quesadilla reddit? ›

    Pretty much; I melt some butter in a pan, put down one tortilla, then cheese, then the egg, then more cheese, then the upper tortilla. Put a lid on the pan so the cheese melts a bit faster, then once that's happened and the bottom is crispy, I flip it and fry the other side.

    What is a dirty quesadilla? ›

    Plomo Quesadilla Bar has some of the best quesadillas topped with yummy sauces and it's open until late at night 🙌🏼 Plus, you can make it “dirty” with a layer of cheese crusted on the outside!

    What is the best cheese for quesadillas? ›

    What cheese is best for quesadillas? Cheddar, Chihuahua, or Monterey Jack – or a mix of all three – are my favorite cheeses for quesadillas. Feel free to use whatever melty cheese you've got on hand and be sure to shred it yourself for the best texture!

    Should you make quesadilla with butter or oil? ›

    Unless you're using a non-stick pan, the extra lubrication from the oil will make it easier to flip your quesadilla and remove it from the pan or press when it's done. Most recipes, in fact, call for adding butter or oil to a frying pan and then adding either a tortilla or a pre-assembled quesadilla.

    Can you use mayo instead of butter for a quesadilla? ›

    Don't use butter or oil to cook them in the pan – swap that butter for mayo! Using mayo in place of butter is great because you don't have to wait for butter to soften to spread it onto the tortilla. Also, jarred mayo contains a bit of sugar that promotes browning and extra crispiness.

    What is the TikTok quesadilla order? ›

    The “Keithadilla” reflects Lee's favorite quesadilla order: a Fajita Quesadilla with Steak with Roasted Chili-Corn Salsa, Sour Cream and Chipotle-Honey Vinaigrette on the side.

    What is the TikTok tortilla challenge? ›

    The Tortilla Challenge is a viral TikTok video trend that was popularized throughout 2021 and 2022. In the standard version of the game, players hold water in their mouths and play Rock, Paper, Scissors to determine who gets to slap the other person across the face with a tortilla.
