Easy Vegan Buffalo Chickpea Quesadillas
Delicious, filling, and SO easy to make. These fusion buffalo quesadillas come together in just 12 minutes!
Ingredients
- 2-3 whole grain tortillas (see notes below)
- 1 14oz can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- ¼ cup vegan buffalo sauce (I used Frank's)
- ½ cup vegan cheese (or cashew sour cream)
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional)
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Add olive oil, chickpeas, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika to a pan on medium heat. Toast the chickpeas for 3 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
- Add nutritional yeast, and Frank's buffalo sauce. Stir to combine for 1 minute.
- Remove pan from heat, and add the chickpea mixture into a large bowl to mash. I mash mine right in the pan, but be careful not to scratch it.
- Cover half of each tortilla with vegan cheese, and the chickpea mixture. Fold the tortilla in half to close.
- Cook quesadillas in a non-stick pan for 2-3 minutes per side. Cut in half, serve with vegan ranch, and enjoy!
