Ingredients

  • 2 cups sliced fresh cremini mushrooms
  • 1 cup sliced green or red bell pepper
  • ½ cup sliced red onion
  • 2 cups loosely packed fresh spinach leaves
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups Pizza Sauce
  • ½ cup sliced pitted black olives
  • Basic Cashew Cheese Sauce
  • Olive oil spray

Instructions

  • Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, bell pepper, and onion and cook until the mushrooms are tender, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add the spinach and cook until just beginning to wilt. Remove from the heat and add salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl. Clean out the frying pan.
  • Lay out a tortilla. Spread tomato sauce on half. Top with a quarter of the veggies and a sprinkle of black olives. Drizzle about 3 tablespoons cheese sauce on top and fold over the other side of the tortilla. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  • Heat the frying pan over medium heat. Spray the pan with olive oil and add 2 quesadillas. Spray the tops of the quesadillas with olive oil.
  • After 2 to 3 minutes, when the bottom is golden, flip the quesadillas and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more, until both sides are crispy and golden.
  • Place them on a plate and cover with aluminum foil. Repeat with the remaining quesadillas. Slice and serve immediately, with a light drizzle of the cheese sauce over the top and the extra pizza sauce as a dip.
  • VARIATION To make these gluten-free, you’ll need some large gluten-free tortillas. Since these tend to break when folded, the method will be a little different.
  • Spread the pizza sauce, toppings, and cheese sauce over the entire tortilla, rather than just half. Top with another tortilla and cook as in step 3, repeating to make 2 total. Slice just as you would a normal pizza.
