Is there anything more deliciously naughty-but-nice than oozing melted vegan cheese? Surely not.
I make quesadillas a lot, (as I've mentioned here and here), but thought I would have a go at something more sandwich-sized, (and easier to share with a toddler for lunch!). Making these in a dry frying pan is super-quick and easy. Made with avocado, red onion, salsa and fresh coriander, consider them a lovely Mexican twist on a cheese toastie.

Ingredients
- 2 tortilla wraps
- 4 slices vegan cheese
- half red onion finely sliced
- half avocado peeled and sliced
- 4 teaspoon tomato salsa
- handful fresh coriander roughly chopped
Instructions
- Use a pastry cutter roughly 4 inches in diameter, (or cut around a large glass with a knife), to cut out 4 circles from each tortilla. Cut out one circle of the same size from each slice of cheese.
- Take 4 of the tortilla circles and top each with a slice of vegan cheese, slices of red onion and avocado, a spoonful of salsa and a sprinkle of coriander.
- Heat up a large frying pan and place the quesadillas in carefully. Cook for 1-2 minutes until starting to turn golden brown on the bottom, then flip over and cook for a further minute on the other side.

Oh these are just all win! Love the idea of making them mini and the creamy Swiss cheese sounds like the perfect addition.

I've been meaning to try quesadillas for a while as an alternative to toasted sandwiches for the kids - I think they'd cook well in a panini press.
thevegspace says
Yes great idea about the panini press - haven't tried it but bet it would be excellent!
