Equipment
- food processor
- grill or griddle
Ingredients
White Bean Spread
- 1 can white beans 15 oz, rinsed and drained
- 1 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove
- 3/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup olive oil OPTIONAL, substitute for unsweetened almond milk
For Quesadillas:
- 8-12 corn or flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes drained, chopped
- 1/4 cup Italian parsley chopped
- 2 avocados very thinly sliced
Instructions
- Combine white bean spread ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Set aside.
- Spread about 5 tablespoons of white bean spread on a tortilla, leaving a 1/2 inch border dry. Arrange roughly 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, 1 tablespoon of parsley, and avocado on top of the spread. Season with salt and pepper and place another tortilla on top. Optionally, rush both sides with oil.
- If grilling, wrap each quesadilla in tinfoil to form a pocket. Grill on medium heat for a few minutes.
- Cooking on stovetop or a griddle: heat a griddle or a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and cook the quesadilla about 2 minutes on each side, until lightly browned. Remove from pan and slice like a pizza to serve. Repeat this process with remaining tortillas.
Notes
Can be made ahead of time for up to 2 days, wrapped in tinfoil. When ready to eat, bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes at 350 degrees.
