Making Vegan Quesaladas for Dinner
On Ep.3 of Quarantine with the Crownholm’s we are making one of our go-to dinners of Vegan Quesaladas (quesadilla + enchiladas together). I mean what kid doesn’t love a fun twist on a quesadilla and what mom doesn’t love a meal thats full of spinach, mushrooms and cilantro that their kid will actually eat willingly.
This is a super easy recipe and a guaranteed kid fave! Since we are really trying to do no waste in this house hold in general and now with the Coronavirus issue we are trying to use every last bit of food in this home so we don’t have to go the grocery store as often, we love that you can take the leftover beefless beef filling and make into loaded vegan nachos the next day…so no waste and yummy food all the way around! It’s such an easy way to get some extra spinach and mushrooms into their diets without them noticing …. Mom Win!
