Vegetarian Quesadilla
Vegetarian quesadillas are crowd pleasing, budget friendly, and require just a quick toasting in a hot pan so are easy to prepare at home – sounds like a winner!
When it comes to veggie quesadillas, we should also mention that they are very versatile and you can use just about any veg you have on hand because just about anything tastes delicious with melted cheese and tortilla! In our recipe we used sweetcorn, peppers and onions. We like to take it up a notch, and add some of our Gran Luchito Cantina Beans. A veggie and black bean quesadilla is just that bit more hearty and satisfying with the added protein from the black beans.
If you are vegan, there are now some really good vegan cheeses available that can be used to make them, so make sure to try them!
These vegetarian quesadillas are so delicious and not spicy at all. You can choose to add Gran Luchito Fire Roasted Serranos to the mix for a bit of Mexican heat or leave them out if you are planning on giving them to little ones or those who prefer milder Mexican food. Either way, we know you’ll love them!

This recipe is delicious! It’s so easy to make, but the end result is very satisfying; it’s a recipe that we keep coming back to!
The Gran Luchito refried beans are a little on the spicy side compared to what we’re used to, but combined with manchego cheese and the vegetable mix it is a super tasty, and very quick, meal.
Thanks Scott! As you say, so quick and easy but very satisfying
