When I met up with some friends for brunch or a potluck recently, these Vegan Cheese Quesadillas were a huge hit. With just a few ingredients in the kitchen, you can create everything from wraps to burritos to quesadillas – you name it!

There are two types of quesadillas: half and full. They can be filled with plain or vegan cheese, sometimes with meat, beans, or vegetables. When a tortilla is in half, it means that it has been filled and then folded. The term “full” refers to filling tucked between two tortillas, and that’s your choice you can make.

I’ve become a fan of these vegan quesadillas. We can all enjoy the outdoors more with this quick lunch/dinner during the summer. I enjoy how creamily the vegan cheese melts, how crisp the tortillas are, and how intact the corn and spinach filling remains after each bite. This vegan quesadilla recipe is elevated by the homemade vegan tzatziki sauce on top.

Besides, who doesn’t like to top their quesadillas with sauce? I think it’s essential.

About the Spinach Quesadilla Recipe

I’ll be honest – it took me a while to figure out how to measure the right amount of sauce or cheese for each quesadilla. My dipping practices get out of control sometimes, leaving just too little for the last few slices.

This showstopper in this quesadilla game is of course the vegan mozzarella cheese and vegan feta cheese. Surely you cannot eat quesadillas without cheese or sauce, since that would be like eating chocolate ice cream without any chocolate.

It is a little tedious to cook four tortillas since there are four of them. With a few minutes per tortilla, you’re hands-on for at least 30 minutes. The logistics of cooking two per pan seemed a bit complicated to me, but some people seem to do it that way.

Listen to some music, enjoy a glass of wine, and let your mind wander. I think this is a perfect dinner meal, but it can also be enjoyed as a breakfast. Do you agree? Do you prefer breakfast or dinner? It would be great for either situation.

About Tzatziki Sauce Recipe

Also, to accompany this quesadilla I have a bonus recipe also prepared for you which is a recipe for authentic Greek Tzatziki sauce from Paros, the Greek island! The Greek yogurt sauce tzatziki is creamy and has fresh cucumbers, dill, and garlic.

An excellent accompaniment to many Mediterranean dishes, this sauce is versatile. It can also be spread on sandwiches, or used to top warm pitas or quesadillas, or as a dip for your favorites!

For Tzatziki sauce, vegan or greek yogurt is combined with grated or chopped cucumber, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, Himalayan kosher or normal salt, and dill. I used coconut yogurt in my tzatziki recipe instead of the traditional sheep or goat yogurt used in Greek tzatziki to make it vegan.

The tzatziki sauce is easier to find in stores, and it still has the creaminess and thick consistency you expect. The bright, summery finish comes from mixing fresh mint (optional) and dill with the other traditional ingredients.

This vegan cheese quesadilla is going to do you in! It is hearty, savory, cheesy, drool-worthy, easy, and memorable. There is cheese inside and it is crispy on the outside.

    Important Suggestion To Keep In Mind

• Corn tortillas could be used in this recipe to make it gluten-free.
• You can brush the tortillas with melted butter and then fry if you are not vegan.
• Squeeze the grated cucumber to remove the water. Making tzatziki sauce creamy requires this step – if you skip it, your sauce will separate due to the water from the cucumbers. The cucumber can be squeezed directly over the sink, or lightly pressed between kitchen towels.
• Take a fair amount of spinach leaves as they shrink a lot after frying so take according to the tortillas you want to make.

Storage Suggestion

Freshly made quesadillas are crispy, gooey, and delicious when they’re hot off the skillet. Leftovers, however, can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days.

The quesadillas should be reheated for 5-8 minutes in an oven preheated to 300 degrees.

Serving Suggestion

Of course, I am serving this with homemade tzatziki sauce. Do not skip the sauce it’s so so good with this.
