We live in Texas, so there is no shortage to Tex Mex foods. However, most of the restaurants are not healthy or vegan. Ever since we made our dairy free cashew cheese sauce, we have been experimenting with different ways to use it. First there was the vegan grilled cheese and then the vegan nachos. Now vegan quesadillas.
I used Food for Life corn tortillas. They are gluten free and non GMO. They were perfect for this recipe. I supposed you could also use homemade tortillas. We all loved this recipe and it smells amazing when it’s cooking! If you are not vegan, please feel free to add in whatever cheese you like instead of the cheese sauce. I am sure that would probably be okay as well.

A classic dish made vegan!

Instructions
- Heat a saute pan on medium heat.
- Add the oil and onions, garlic and salt and saute for about 5-7 minutes.
