Vegan Smashed White Bean Quesadillas
Report
There's no actual queso in these dairy-free quesadillas, but with spicy white beans, creamy avocado slices, and fresh cilantro, you're not likely to miss it!

Ingredients
- 1 15-ounce can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper hot sauce or more, for extra heat
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 medium 8-inch flour tortillas
- ½ ripe avocado sliced
- ¼ cup diced red onion about ¼ of a medium onion
- ¼ cup diced tomato about 1 small Roma tomato
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- olive or vegetable oil for grilling
- Salsa or additional hot sauce for serving
Instructions
- Place cannellini beans into a medium bowl and mash with a fork or potato masher, leaving the mixture as chunky as you like. Stir in hot sauce and cumin, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Divide bean mixture among tortillas, spreading in an even layer over each. Divide avocado slices over half of each tortilla, then sprinkle with tomato, onion, cilantro, and optionally a bit more hot sauce, salt and pepper. Fold tortillas closed.
- Lightly oil the bottom of a large skillet and place over medium heat. Arrange quesadillas in the skillet, and if your skillet has a lid, use it to cover them, as this will help the fillings get nice and warm. Cook until crisp and lightly browned on bottoms, about 4 minutes. Gently flip and cook about 4 minutes more, until browned on opposite sides.
- Remove quesadillas from the skillet and slice, if desired. Serve with salsa, hot sauce, or your favorite quesadilla toppings.
Notes
- These work great as a make-ahead meal. Prep and stuff the quesadillas in advance, wrap in plastic and refrigerate, then grill them right before serving.
