Ingredients

Vegan Chorizo Quesadillas

Red cabbage and Pear Coleslaw

Deliciously Revived Leftover Brown Rice

Vegan Red Fried Tomatoes

Instructions

  • My first instruction is to just have fun! Ha, ha! This recipe was completely improvised, so please feel free to substitute ingredients to flow with what's in your fridge and what makes your tastebuds sing. We're all so creative, if we just let go of our expectations and enjoy. Let your inspiration lead!

Vegan Chorizo Quesadillas

  • Chop the red onion and garlic.
  • Divide the vegan chorizo in bite size parts.
  • Fry the onions in avocado oil on medium to low heat, stirring occasionally. If you don't want to use oil, you can use vegetable broth.
  • Once the onions are translucent add the Balsamic Vinegar. Stir and cook for a couple of more minutes.
  • Now add the vegan chorizo and combine. Lower temp to Low. Cook for a couple of minutes and then take off the heat. Clear the pan by putting the filling in a separate bowl.
  • On low heat put in one of the soft tortillas in the pan. Add a layer of the vegan shredded cheese. Add the chorizo and onion filling. Top with one more layer of the vegan cheese and then add one more soft tortilla on top.
    One of Jamie's great tips was to put something heavy on top of the quesadillas to get them to cook evenly. See video.
  • Fry for about 2 minutes. Peek to make sure it doesn't burn. Turn and fry the other side for about the same amount of time. Once fully cooked on both sides take it out of the pan and put into a cutting board. Divide into quarters.

  • Chop up the snap peas and the mango in 1/4 inch size bites. Combine with the brown rice.
  • Add the other ingredients and stir well. Set aside.
