Pesto Mushroom Quesadilla

This recipe is inspired by the quesadilla at one of my favorite vegan restaurants in NYC, Jajaja mexicana. This is a lunch or dinner with really no prep work needed & I promise it won’t disappoint. 

Ingredients 

1 tsp extra virgin olive oil

1 cup sliced mushrooms 

1 burrito (I used @siete)

3 tbsp vegan pesto 

1/4 cup shredded mozzarella (I used @violife)

bruschetta for topping (I used Trader Joe’s)

Directions 

1. Warm olive oil in a small frying pan over medium heat 

2. Add mushrooms to pan, cover and cook for about 5-8 minutes 

3. Place burrito shell down on a flat surface and evenly distribute pesto on top

4. Add burrito to a large frying pan, pesto side up

5. Add shredded mozzarella to burrito, cover and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes or until pesto bubbles and cheese starts to melt

6. Add cooked mushrooms to one side of the burrito and fold to make a quesadilla 

7. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side

8. Remove from pan, cut into pieces, top with bruschetta and enjoy!
