Quesadillas

11/18/2020

Growing up in Texas, we ate Mexican food allll the time. So for me, comfort food = Mexican food. Anyone else? While I love the authentic stuff, I also enjoy making different versions of my favorite meals at home. This is mainly because I can't eat certain ingredients at restaurants. Quesadillas used to be one of my favorite things to order so I wanted to make a quick, healthy, gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegetarian recipe! This recipe is something you can throw together in no-time....plus, it's cheap and doesn't use that many ingredients! I used beans because they are an affordable alternative to meat and they still make the quesadillas taste delicious! If you don't have any food allergies then you can still make this with whole wheat  flour tortillas and regular cheese. Enjoy!

    Allergies

    I believe everyone should eat balanced and not cut food groups if you don't medically need to. All foods can fit in a healthy diet. Unfortunately, I have to avoid gluten and also limit myself with dairy, so my goal is to provide healthy, gluten-free/dairy-free recipes so EVERYONE can enjoy all foods, even if you do have to cut out certain food groups. My recipes are encouraged for everyone to eat, not just for those with sensitivities/allergies! Most of my recipes can be easily converted by using real dairy and whole-wheat in place of my allergy-free substitutes.
