Ingredients
Chipotle Cashew Cream:
- 1 cup raw cashews soaked 2 to 8 hours
- 1/3 cup water
- 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt to taste
Grilled Vegetable Quesadillas:
- 2 California avocados mashed
- 2 bell peppers color of choice, cored and halved
- 2 medium zucchini squash sliced lengthwise
- 1/4 red onion sliced
- 2 large gluten-free flour tortillas
- olive oil for grilling
Instructions
Prepare the Cashew Cream Sauce:
- Add the ingredients for the chipotle cashew cream sauce to a blender or food processor and process until completely smooth - you may need to stop the blender and scrape the sides a few times. Transfer to a jar and refrigerate until ready to use. Note: the sauce will thicken in the refrigerator.
Prepare the Quesadillas:
- Mash the avocados in a bowl and sprinkle with sea salt to taste.
- Preheat the grill to medium high. Brush all of the vegetables with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt.
- Place the vegetables on the hot grill and cover. Cook for 5 to 8 minutes, flip and continue grilling another 5 to 8 minutes, or until charred and soft. Transfer vegetables to a cutting board and chop into bite sizes.
- Heat a large skillet to medium-high and add enough oil to lightly coat the surface.
- Place one large flour tortilla on the hot skillet and spread half of the mashed avocado mixture over the whole tortilla. Cook for about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Layer a generous amount of vegetables over half of the tortilla, then fold tortilla in half. continue cooking until tortilla reaches desired level of crisp. Transfer to a cutting board and chop into pieces. Repeat for remaining ingredients.
- Serve quesadillas with chipotle cashew cream sauce and chopped green onion.
