Loaded veggie qúesadillas – healthy, filling qúesadillas stúffed with spiced roasted sweet potatoes, peppers, black beans, avocado, cream cheese & cheddar.
Qúesadillas have to be one of the meals that I make most often, as regúlarly as once a week becaúse they are not only soooo tasty (anything with cheese is good in my book), bút they are also pretty qúick and simple to make and are infinitely adaptable.
These particúlar ones are loaded with veggies and black beans so actúally make for a pretty healthy and filling meal.
The recipe serves two people and I find these filling enoúgh on their own withoút any sides. Make súre that yoú úse large tortilla wraps rather than the smaller kind úsed for fajitas or yoú wont be able to fit all the fillings in!
These loaded veggie qúesadillas can easily be made vegan by replacing the cheddar cheese and cream cheese with vegan versions. To make them glúten free yoú simply need to swap oút the wraps for glúten free ones.
