Instructions

Step 1

Begin by soaking the cashews in boiling water for 30 minutes. Then, in a small high-speed blender, combine all the queso ingredients and blend until smooth.

Step 2

Dice the red onion and capsicum. In a pan on medium heat, add a bit of olive oil and the onion. Cook until the onion is softened.

Step 3

Add the capsicum, corn, black beans, and spices to the pan. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Spread the cashew queso on half of a tortilla, then add some of the black bean mixture and spinach. Top with more cashew queso and fold the tortilla in half.

Step 5

Transfer the filled tortilla to a non-stick pan heated on medium to low heat. You can brush a bit of olive oil if needed. Cook until the tortilla is golden, then flip and cook the other side.

Step 6

Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling. Serve the quesadillas with your favorite toppings.
