Vegan Philly Cheesesteak Quesadilla

    Seitan "Steak"

    • 1 package (8 ounces/227g) seitan
    • 1 teaspoon olive oil
    • ½ teaspoon cumin
    • ⅓ teaspoon oregano
    • ¼ cup (32g) adobo sauce
    • 1 to 2 tablespoons (15 to 30m) water

    Other

    • 1 green bell pepper thinly sliced (about 160g)
    • ½ sweet onion thinly sliced (about 80g)
    • 1 tablespoon (15ml) olive oil
    • 1 cup (112g) vegan cheddar shreds
    • 4 tortillas

    Instructions
     

    • In a food processor add all the vinaigrette ingredients except the oil. Pulse for 30 seconds until everything is broken down. Slowly stream in the oil while mixing to help emulsify the dressing. Set to the side.
    • In a large pan sauté the seitan in the oil, adobo, and seasonings. Cook over medium heat until crispy and doneness according to package directions. To help deglaze pan add in water.
    • Meanwhile, in a separate large pan sauté the peppers and onions for 7 to 10 minutes over medium heat or until soft.
    • Once done divide the peppers and onions, seitan, and vegan cheese amongst 4 tortillas. Add to ½ of your tortilla and fold over. Warm in the pan peppers and onions were cooked in until vegan cheese is melted and outside is crispy. *Optional: if desired cook in ½ teaspoon vegan butter or oil. My pan still had enough oil to cook the quesadillas in.
    • Repeat until all quesadilla are cooked.
    • Enjoy with the dressing and if desired you can mix 2 to 3 tablespoons of dressing with 2 tablespoons vegan sour cream for dipping.

    Notes

    • Chipotle Peppers in adobo
    • I use a good nonstick pan so I do not need to add more oil or vegan butter when cooking quesadillas, if you need to that is okay.
