happy Sunday amazing friends! i love starting the week with some good recipes, and since tomorrow is meatless monday, i think this recipe is a perfect start! Vegan Ricotta Pizza Quesadillas are absolutely unreal and beyond easy to make.
homemade ricotta is the best thing ever. nothing compares to vegan cheesy goodness packed with dried parsley and garlic.
Alex and i were actually eating this by the spoonful, so i bet we could have gotten one more quesadilla out of this lol.
there’s a quesadilla missing from the pictures too, this recipe actually yields at least 6! want to know why? yep, we ate it beforehand haha. #foodbloggerproblems
guess what?! this recipe is PACKED with protein, yay. that’s because the ricottta is made with tofu.
when it comes to vegan ricotta, i would say tofu and cashews are the two most popular bases, but if i had to choose a preference, it’s tofu.
you want to use a really firm one if you can! the tofu i used is both organic and sprouted and a total of 14 ounces.
with just a few more ingredients and a food processor, the ricotta made in no time.
as for the tortillas, i went with organic whole wheat ones from Whole Foods. they are not gluten free but you can use whatever ones you want.
the reason i prefer the ones i used is due to the sturdiness of them! the tortillas hold up really well and you can stuff them quite a bit.
here’s everything you need to make Vegan Ricotta Pizza Quesadillas
use any kind of marinara you want by the way! we went with Rao’s because it’s just soooo dang good and the flavor is deep.

to stuff the quesadillas the way i did, you just cut a line vertically starting in the center. you can refer to the pictures to see exactly what i mean :).
i stuffed the tortillas with about 1/4 cup of the ricotta mixture, but how much you use will depend on how well the tortillas hold up.
if you use almond flour based ones that are gluten free, you won’t be able to stuff them as much!
