Two favorite snacks are combined into one with these Vegan Spinach Artichoke Quesadillas. These are ooey, gooey and super delicious.
I recently shared my recipe for Baked Spinach Artichoke Dip.
I love making that recipe for parties, but since it makes enough for 8+ people, it isn’t something I can make all the time…
otherwise I might eat the whole thing myself.
So, I began racking my brain for a recipe that would have the same flavors but in a single serving.
Which is how these quesadillas were born.
As with the dip, the key to making these quesadillas creamy and delicious is vegan cream cheese (I get mine at Trader Joe’s) and marinated artichoke hearts.
You could use plain artichoke hearts, but the marinated ones just add another layer of flavor.
The best part?
These only take 10 minutes to put together.
Easy peasy.
