No time to post, my ironing pile is almost sky high, the dishes need doing, I'm in the middle of clearing out the kids' bedroom and those little savages are shouting for popcorn as they watch 'Muppets From SpaceI was reading a thread on the MSE forums about cheap and lazy dinners and came across a recipe for easy cheesy quesadillas. Now, I've never made these before but it sounded a piece of cake and I had a packet of 6 spinach tortillas in my bread bin so, as I 'm out of soup, why not? What to fill them with, though! Well, I had a can of red kidney beans leftover from our holiday so I combined that with 1/2 cup vegetable stock, cumin, garlic powder, cayenne and a couple tbsp passata to make refried beans. I stirred through some chopped spring onions at the last moment before smearing over a tortilla, drizzling with some leftover salad dressing from last night and sprinkling generously with nooch. On the other tortilla I spread some quick almond sour cream I'd just knocked-up. Just ground almonds, 2 tsp lemon juice, 1/4 tsp salt and enough cold water to form a thick paste.
Five minutes in an oil-misted frying pan, turning halfway through, and we had some seriously good, seriously hot eating. But what, no queso? I hear you ask. Well, that's the funny thing, you see - I didn't have the time or the inclination to knock any up so no, we went cheezeless for this one. Us Crazy Kids!

It looks delightful
Aren't quesadillas the best? I make them all the time because you can make them any which way and they are great for leftover veggies, just toss them in! But the fried cheezy goodness.....that is the best!
Looks yummy!

how awesome on the super delicious cheezeless quesadilla! dan & i enjoy ours cheezeless quite often. mmmmmmmmm! i love that you added in some spring onions - such a tasty touch! w00t!
With mushy beans and sour cream, who needs cheese? That is a great idea, and good inspiration for later in the week when I start running out of veggies...
Yum. I love quesadillas and these sound terrific.
