Ingredients
- 5 oz portobello mushrooms
- 2 Tbsp coconut or olive oil
- 2 tsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- Sea salt
- 2 avocados, pits removed and flesh scooped out
- 1⁄2 can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 8 tortillas
- 1 lime, quartered
- 1 handful of parsley, leaves picked and finely chopped (optional)
- 1⁄2 cup grated Cheddar cheese
- 4 Tbsp plain unsweetened Greek yogurt
- Magic Green Sauce, optional (recipe follows)
Directions
- Clean and slice mushrooms and chop stems. Heat oil in a frying
- pan (skillet) and add mushrooms. Sauté for a couple of minutes on each side, and then add soy sauce, maple syrup, and vinegar and season with salt. Sauté for another couple of minutes. Transfer to a plate and wipe pan clean.
- Mash avocado flesh and beans separately with a fork and set aside. Heat frying pan without any oil and add one tortilla. Spread a quarter of avocado mash over it and scatter over a quarter of mashed beans and a quarter of the mushroom slices. Squeeze over some lime juice and scatter with parsley (if using) and cheese.
- Spread a thin layer of yogurt over another tortilla and place it on top, yogurt-side down. Carefully flip whole tortilla and fry it on other side for a couple of minutes until cheese has melted. Slide it off to a cutting board and cut into smaller wedges.
- Repeat with remaining ingredients and serve immediately with Magic Green Sauce, if using.
Notes
For a spicy kick, add pickled jalapeños to the quesadilla filling. Serve with Magic Green Sauce or another sauce drizzled over.
