Easy CHEESY Quesadillas | Epic OIL FREE VEGAN RECIPE
I feel like Easy Cheesy Quesadillas tonight! Along with being super easy and extra cheesy these Quesadillas are high in protein and are a source of healthy fat to help fuel your body efficiently and prevent dips in energy and mood. Quesadillas are a great addition to lunch boxes, dinners and parties!! We kept these oil free but they may not suit all weight loss or low fat diets as we used cashew nuts but they are a healthy plant based source of fat so we hope you give these easy cheesy quesadillas a try.

PRINTABLE RECIPE:
Full Recipe ????????????
INGREDIENTS
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp flour
1 cup whole milk
6 oz. medium cheddar, shredded (about 1.5 cups)
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp chili powder
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Add the butter and flour to a small sauce pot. Heat and whisk the butter and flour together until they become bubbly and foamy. Continue to cook and whisk the bubbly mixture for about 60 seconds.
2. Whisk the milk into the flour and butter mixture. Turn the heat up slightly and allow the milk to come to a simmer while whisking. When it reaches a simmer, the mixture will thicken. Once it's thick enough to coat a spoon, turn off the heat.
3. Stir in the shredded cheddar, one handful at a time, until melted into the sauce. If needed, place the pot over a low flame to help the cheese melt. Do not over heat the cheese sauce.
4. Once all the cheese is melted into the sauce, stir in the salt and chili powder. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. If the sauce becomes too thick, simply whisk in an additional splash of milk.

Cheesy Ground Beef Quesadillas | Serves 6
????INGREDIENTS????
6 8 Flour Tortillas
2 tbsp Olive Oil, or as needed
Beef:
1lb / 500g Lean Ground Beef
1/2 cup / 125ml Water or Low Sodium Beef Stock
1 heaped tbsp Tomato Puree (Tomato Paste in US)
2 tsp each: Paprika, Cumin
1 tsp each: Garlic Powder, Oregano, Salt
1/2 tsp each: Onion Powder, Cayenne Pepper, Cornstarch/Cornflour (see notes)
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
Olive Oil, as needed
Fillings:
1.5 cups / 150g Monterey Jack, shredded
1/5 cups / 150g Cheddar, shredded
1 small Red Pepper (bell pepper), finely diced
1 small White Onion, finely diced
1/2 can Black Beans, rinsed
1 cup Pickled Jalapenos, sliced (optional)
????METHOD????
In a small bowl, combine 2 tsp paprika & cumin, 1 tsp garlic powder, oregano & salt, 1/2 tsp onion powder & cayenne pepper and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Place to one side.
Add a drizzle of olive oil to a pan over medium heat and add your onion and red pepper. Fry until softened, then scrape to the outside of the pan. Add in your beef and break up with a wooden spoon. Once browned, incorporate your onion/pepper, then mix in your spices.
Add 1 tbsp tomato puree/paste and fry with the beef for a few mins. Deglaze the pan with 1/2 cup water/beef stock, then stir in 1/2 tsp cornstarch/cornflour (or 2-3 tbsp liquid and no cornstarch/cornflour). Add 1/2 can black beans and allow to simmer and reduce for 5mins, stirring occasionally.
Once fully reduced (beef should be juicy, with no liquid in pan) take off heat and pour into a bowl. Allow the beef to rest until it stops steaming (important).
Meanwhile, wipe out pan with a paper towel.
Brush one side of each of your tortilla wraps and place one oil side down in the pan with the heat off. Sprinkle over 1/4 cup of cheese, then around 1/2 cup beef (or 1/6th of the mixture) top with a few jalapenos (optional) then finish with another 1/4 cup of cheese. Fold over and repeat with another one next to it. Switch on heat a medium and fry for a few mins each side, or until golden and hollow to tap.
