March 02, 2017

This Vegan Kale Quesadilla with fresh, homemade Pico de Gallo is sure to please!

(serves 1):

Ingredients:

Kale Quesadilla:

1 Whole Wheat Tortilla

1/2 C. Vegan Shredded Cheese

1 C. chopped Kale (just leafy part, no rib)

1 Minced Shallot

1 Tbsp Avocado Oil (or any high heat safe, neutral oil)

Directions:

• Heat a small—medium size pan over medium heat with the oil, then sauté the shallot until softened and lightly golden.
• Add in the chopped kale and let sauté until slightly wilted.
• Next, heat up a large enough pan to place the tortilla into.
• Place tortilla in the pan and cover one half of the tortilla with 1/4 C. vegan shredded cheese. Then, layer on the sautéed shallot and kale and sprinkle on top with remaining 1/4 C. of cheese.
• Fold the empty tortilla side over everything, to seal it all up.
• Let cook for ~2 mins on each side, or until slightly browned and crispy.
• Slice into triangles and serve with pico de Gallo, and garnish with a lime twist.

Ingredients:

• 2 Diced Roma Tomatoes
• 2 Tbsp Chopped Red Onion
• 2 Tbsp Finely Chopped Fresh Cilantro
• Juice of 1 Lime
• 1-2 Tbsp Saucy Lips Jalapeño & Green Apple hot sauce
• Sea Salt and Ground Black Pepper to taste

Directions:
