White bean and kale vegan quesadillas

White bean quesadillas without cheese but with kale and avocado... so good you'll never miss the cheese.

In Mexico, quesadillas can be made with everything; they do not have to have cheese in them. That’s why these quesadillas without cheese, white bean and kale vegan quesadillas, and kale have become my favorite recipes for vegan quesadillas.

White bean and kale vegan quesadillas with avocado and so much yumminess you’ll never miss the cheese.

I think I’ve mentioned before that we don’t eat cheese at home or any other dairy product. We adopted this new way of eating when Santiago was born, and it’s been great for the whole family.
Anyway, probably you are wondering how these white bean and kale quesadillas will taste right? Well, they are full of good stuff and are flavorful and delicious, and all sans the cheese. They are super tasty, good for you and so easy to make that I just had to share this recipe.

This recipe is an excellent back to school quick snack/meal in case you lose track of time and all of a sudden you have a kitchen full of hungry children …. and who are looking at you expectantly. They are super quick to make, and you can even serve them as lunch or dinner. I made these white bean and kale vegan quesadillas with gluten-free flour tortillas. This is the brand that I use. You can also use any other kind of tortilla you want or even eat it on top of brown rice or a piece of toast to change it up a bit.
Anyway, you’ll end up preparing an amazing quesadilla.

To make these quesadillas, you put onion, white beans (either canned or homemade) or navy beans, and kale. You add a little salt, cayenne pepper, and lime juice. You’ll need avocado to dress up the quesadillas and… YUM!!! Be prepared to make a lot of them because they go fast. I usually have to double the recipe because my kids devour them.
