This Cheesy Tofu Quesadilla is a delightful twist on a classic favorite, bringing delicious cheesy goodness and protein-rich tofu to your plate tonight!

1

Start by pressing the tofu to remove excess moisture. Wrap the tofu in a clean kitchen towel and place a heavy object on top for about 15 minutes.

2

While the tofu is pressing, finely chop the bell pepper and onion.

3

In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, sautéing them for about 5 minutes until softened.

4

After pressing the tofu, crumble it into the sautéed vegetables, mixing everything carefully.

5

Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cumin over the mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the tofu to absorb the flavors.

6

In a separate skillet, heat one tortilla over medium-low heat. Once warm, sprinkle 1/4 cup of cheese on one half of the tortilla, then add a portion of the tofu mixture over the cheese.

7

Carefully fold the tortilla in half, pressing it down gently. Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese is melting.

8

Flip the quesadilla and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.

9

Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Once all quesadillas are cooked, cut them into wedges and serve warm, optionally with salsa or guacamole.
