Chick'n Quesadillas

Quesadillas are one of my top, favorite meals. You can be as creative as you want to be and incorporate many different ingredients. You can get super technical, but I like to keep it quick and easy using fresh, organic ingredients!

Many restaurants have veggie quesadillas on the menu, but if you're vegan the composition of the quesadillas usually poses a problem. Some restaurants are able to substitute dairy cheese with vegan cheese, but often times they contain a hefty amount of animal fats as well. Fortunately, you can make this delicious, inexpensive meal in the comfort of your own home.

These quesadillas are absolutely fabulous! The whole grain tortillas have a crisp, light crunch, the Daiya cheese melts just right and holds the peppers, onions, and chick'n together, and the dairy free sour cream tops everything off perfectly.
