Instructions
Make tofu scramble
- Finely dice onion.
- Pat dry tofu and crumble into small pieces using your hands.
- Heat up oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until fragrant and translucent.
- Add tofu, cumin, chilli powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Stir to combine and sauté for 1 minute.
- Add tinned tomatoes and liquid smoke. Stir to combine, using your spatula to break up large pieces of tomatoes, and let mixture simmer for 5 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated.
- Stir in nutritional yeast. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove from heat.
Assemble
- Heat up a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add a tortilla and top it with cheese, tofu scramble and more cheese. Top with another tortilla and press down gently with your spatula. Toast for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown on one side, then flip it and toast the other side for 1-2 minutes. Repeat for the rest of the tortillas. Depending on the size of your skillet, you may be able to fit all three quesadillas in it at once.
- Slice into quarters and serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
- To make this recipe vegan, substitute cheese with dairy-free cheese.
- Feel free to adjust amount of chilli powder according to your spice tolerance.
- I used wholewheat tortilla but you can use whatever suits your dietary needs (eg. gluten free).
