Loaded vegan quesadillas are filled with an easy and healthy summer squash and corn filling.
I was recently going through the recipes on the blog and I realized that I haven't shared any quesadilla recipes with you!
I couldn't believe it! I felt that I needed to change that as soon as possible! I love quesadillas. They are probably one of my favorite quick and easy meals. Also, kids love them! Perfect for a quick and easy lunch for the kids while they are at home.
The combination of summer squash and corn is a classic Mexican taco and quesadilla filling. I used yellow squash, but you can also use zucchini.
The quesadilla filling comes together quickly. You can also make the filling ahead of time too. Perfect for meal prep.
When I make quesadillas, I like to heat the corn tortilla first. Next, place one to two tablespoons of the filling on one side of the tortilla.
Next, layer on some of your favorite vegan cheese.
Vegan cheeses have come a long way since I first became vegan over 14 years ago. There are so many great options available now. My current favorite is the shredded vegan cheese from Violife. It is so good!
The final step is to fold the tortilla in half and heat the quesadilla in a skillet.
This recipe for vegan calabacitas and corn quesadillas is perfect for summer. If your garden is over following with summer squash, this is a great way to use it!
