  • 1/2 avocado (more if you prefer)
  • 1 Roma tomato diced, small

    Cup of Yum
  1. On one half of the tortilla, smash avocado with a fork. Sprinkle nutritional yeast and any seasonings on top. Add tomato, green onions, and salsa if using.
  2. Fold over the top half of the tortilla, and place on a skillet over medium heat.

Notes

  • For gluten-free preference, use a certified gluten-free tortilla.

  • Salsa adds brightness and moisture, enhancing the quesadilla’s flavors.
  • Cooking only until warmed through preserves avocado freshness.
