Original post..

Who else loves a quesadilla?

They are one of the quickest and easiest meals and the stuffing possibilities are endless!

In fact we’ve been on a real quesadilla kick these days and can’t stop eating them!

For lunches I’ve been loving the Red Pepper Hummus + Salsa Quesadilla.

And for snacks my son has been loving the Spanakopita Quesadilla (also a favorite of mine!).

So for dinner, we’re continuing the trend and going with a long time favorite, these Veggie Bean Quesadillas.

These are stuffed with our favorite Veggie Bean Mix with Homemade Taco Seasoning which we’ve been making for years and which works equally well on a quesadilla, sweet potato, burrito or taco!

The versatility of the mix makes if perfect for feeding a family with different tastes or preferences, or for just switching it up!

It’s simply 5 real, whole food ingredients + spices + your favorite gluten-free tortillas (we have been loving Siete Foods Almond Flour Tortillas).

The 5 main ingredients are:

carrots

bell peppers

mushrooms

squash

black beans

The Homemade Taco Seasoning is simply a mix of:

cumin

chili powder

salt

and pepper.

It’s not too spicy because that’s how my family prefers it but feel free to amp it up to taste!

And the Mexican Veggie Black Bean mix comes together quickly.

All you do is saute the carrots and peppers because they take a bit longer to cook than the other ingredients, then add in the mushrooms and squash.

Then add in the black beans. Stir in the spices and let it cook it for just a bit more!

And the mix tastes as good on day 3 as it does on day 1, making it perfect for meal prep or left overs!

So all that’s left to do is make a quesadilla with the Mexican Veggie Black Bean Mix as your filling and it’s so good !

Want to take a peak inside the quesadilla?

You can enjoy these quesadillas as is or topped with avocado, guacamole, sour cream or fresh cilantro. Or you can even add some Monterrey Jack cheese when you make the quesadilla.

We love this meal not only because it tastes great but because the vegetable bean mix can be prepped ahead or fully made ahead and heated up when you’re ready to eat.

So it is perfect for days when you’re out and about and come home hungry or for days when people are eating at different times.

This is easy, make-ahead meal is also a great gluten-free, grain-free (we used and love Siete Almond Flour Tortillas!) way to enjoy Taco Tuesday or any day!

And leftovers make a great lunch the next day, whether you make another quesadilla, add to a salad or top a sweet potato!

Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
