It’s hot, damn hot! Yesterday Regensburg was the hottest place in Germany with almost 35 degrees. What is there to cook at these temperatures? Again Indian ? Tastes good, but we had only on Sunday. Mexican! There I had extremely much desire, especially because it reminds me of the weekly girls’ nights at university times. We always went to the same Mexican place and it was a blast every time. Even then I had a favorite dish, quesadillas! Today we have a delicious vegan version of this with yummy Cheese sauce . You will love them!
Viva la (vegan) Mexico – Quesadillas
The ingredient list is very manageable, you don’t want to run yourself ragged in these hot temperatures. Let’s start with the filling, sweet corn, black beans, a red chili or chili flakes, cherry tomatoes, cumin, coriander (dried and fresh), a little frying oil, juice of a lime, sea salt and avocado. To make this, you’ll need one package of tortilla wraps (I like to use the whole wheat version here) and a portion of cheesy vegan nacho sauce.
Alternatively, you can grab a package of vegan cheese or cheese sauce from the organic supermarket. However, I don’t really like the pre-packaged vegan cheeses. I find they always taste like almost nothing. Do you know any great brands that taste good? Then I look forward to tips at the bottom of the comments.
Cheesy vegan nacho sauce – give me more of it
The preparation is also more than simple and you don’t even need an oven for it. A large frying pan is quite sufficient. First we make the filling with delicious beans and corn, then the quesadillas. Keep it simple! My mouth is watering again too when I think of this delicious vegan snack.
While we’re at it, we might as well take a look at the healthy ingredients. Today we take a closer look at the Avocado more closely. On the one hand it is highly praised, on the other it is frowned upon because of its high fat content. Many press claims that it is even an environmental sin to buy an avocado. I have done some research for you and summarized the most important facts.
Avocados are:
- full of healthy unsaturated fatty acids, the enzyme lipase even promotes fat burning
- rich in minerals, such as magnesium, potassium, iron & provitamin A, B, E and K
- Avocados consume quite a lot of water during cultivation (approx. 2000 liters per kilogram) and often have long transport routes behind them
CONCLUSION: Avocados are quite healthy and I think it is not reprehensible to indulge in one here and there. The main part of food can still be bought regionally and ideally from organic cultivation. Class instead of dimensions!
