4. Cheeseless ‘Cheezy’ Tomato Quesadillas With Avocado
Plant-powered health blogger and Instagram foodie Naturally Sassy created these quesadillas, so good you won’t miss the cheese. Honest!
Serves: 1-2
Ingredients:
- 2 gluten-free tortilla wraps
- 2 plum tomatoes
- 1 big handful of basil
For the cashew cheese*:
- 1/2 cup cashew nuts
- 80ml water
- 1 tsp tahini
- 1/2 clove garlic
- 1/3 cup nutritional yeast (available from health food shops)
- Generous pinch of salt
* You can substitute the cashew cheese, for hummus if you wish.
For the guacamole:
- 1 avocado
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Half a dozen cherry tomatoes
- Pinch of salt
Method:
1. To make the cashew cheese, blend all ingredients together using a food processor.
2. Evenly spread three tablespoons of cashew cheese or hummus over each tortilla, and top with the chopped tomatoes and basil.
3. Fold the tortillas in half and cut down the middle so you have two triangles per tortilla.
4. Press the triangles down over a pre-heated health grill such as Sage by Heston Blumenthal or in a non-stick frying pan for about four minutes. Repeat on other side.
5. While waiting for the tortillas to cook, make the quick guacamole. Mash the avocado, and mix with the salt and lemon juice. Add in the chopped cherry tomatoes.
6. To serve, place the quesadillas on a plate, top with the guacamole and enjoy!
Top tip: A cup is 250ml.
