    Instructions

    To Make the Vegan Cheese: Combine corn, garlic, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper to taste in the bowl of a blender or food processor. Process until the mixture is well combined. Don’t over-process or it will end up too smooth. To Make the Quesadillas: Put smashed avocado on your favorite tortilla. Add halved cherry tomatoes. Top all of it with a real good amount of cheesy corn. If you like, add a bit more heat with the optional chili powder. Finish with the second tortilla. Cut the quesadilla into triangles, brush them with a bit oil if needed. Bake at 400°F on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet for around 15 minutes, until crispy and golden.
