Seitan Quesadillas

Seitan recipe idea
I was standing in Whole Foods the other day waiting on the person in front of me to choose their item out of the mock meat section. As they blankly stared into the glass,  I knew they would be a while. I finally said "excuse me" and proceeded to grab two packages of seitan. They looked at me and said, "What are you gonna do with that?" I love when people ask me food questions! I proceeded to let them know and educated them about the product. They were so excited, I was happy, and I was feeling great about gaining a few new followers to my blog. 

Seitan is such a quick, versatile, inexpensive, and high-protein ingredient. It is made from cooked wheat gluten. I have used it in many meals, and on this particular day I wanted to make vegan quesadillas. My husband liked the idea, so we made it a family event. My husband, daughter, and I had a blast creating this meal, and I hope you enjoy the recipe!
