Ingredients

Instructions

  • You can watch the video in the post for visual instructions.
    Heat 1/2 tbsp oil in a pan, add 1 tbsp soy sauce, onion, garlic, pepper, and mushrooms. Fry over medium heat for 3-4 minutes. Add the corn, black beans, and spice mix, and fry for a further 3-4 minutes.

  • Make a batch of my easy vegan cheese sauce and spread some of it in an even layer on one tortilla. You can use any other vegan cheese of choice.

  • Add a layer of the veggie mixture (about 2-4 tbsp) and place another tortilla on top.

  • Transfer to a (lightly oiled) skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes. Brush the top lightly with some oil, flip and cook from the other side until both sides are nicely browned and toasty.

  • Repeat steps for the remaining tortillas. Cut into 4 pieces and enjoy hot!

Notes

  • Vegan cheese sauce: I added 1 teaspoon of psyllium husk powder which helps to make the sauce thicker and hold the tortilla together. You can leave out the psyllium husk powder if you don't have it, the cheese sauce will still taste great.
