If you’ve already made my Shredded BBQ Seitan recipe, I highly recommend trying out this quesadilla! It will instantly satisfy any vegan junk food cravings you’re having. And because it’s high in protein and fiber, it will keep you full for awhile!

If you’re looking for some other quesadilla recipes to try out because you bought a bunch of tortillas for this recipe, you should check out my classic Vegan Quesadilla and Pumpkin and Black Bean Quesadilla recipes!

Ingredients

• Shredded BBQ Seitan – this is kind of a must have ingredient! I recommend making the recipe that I linked, but if you want a store-bought option, Blackbird makes some great BBQ Seitan.
• Vegan Shredded Cheese – I really like Violife Mexican Blend for quesadillas, but you can use whichever vegan cheese is your favorite!
• Carb Control Tortillas – you can use normal tortillas if you can’t find these, but it will change the calories/macros some. I really like a couple of the Mission options – the carb control and the plant protein ones. I personally think the carb control tortillas taste really close to normal tortillas, so I typically use those.
• Red Onions – this is optional, but I think it adds some nice flavor and veggies.

Instructions

• Dice the red onion.
• Make the Shredded BBQ Seitan and cook the red onions with it when adding the BBQ Sauce.
• In a medium-heat pan, lay down one of the tortillas.
• Evenly spread out the shredded BBQ seitan, red onions and vegan shredded cheese.

• Add the tortilla on top.
• Cook for 2-3 minutes. The bottom tortilla should start to brown some and the vegan cheese will start to melt.
• Once the bottom tortilla is nicely browned, flip the quesadilla.
• Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the other tortilla has browned.
• Alternatively, you can bake the quesadilla in the oven on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet at 350 F (177 C) for 10 – 15 minutes until the cheese is melty and the tortillas have browned.
