RECIPE #1 BUFFALO JACKFRUIT GRILLED CHEESE: https://www.rainbowplantlife.com/blog/buffalo-jackfruit-vegan-grilled-cheese RECIPE #2: CREAMY CHEESY PASTA 1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta of your choice until al dente. Drain the water and add as much vegan cheese sauce to the pasta, toss to combine, and heat through. RECIPE #3: TEX-MEX TEMPEH QUESADILLAS *1 TBSP oil 1 8-ounce block tempeh 1 small onion, thinly sliced 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 jalapeno pepper, diced (remove seeds if sensitive to spicy food) 14-16 ounces mushrooms, sliced 2 tsps chili powder 1 tsp ground cumin ½ tsp dried oregano ½ tsp paprika ½ tsp kosher salt + more to taste 3 TBSP tomato paste 1 TBSP lime juice 2-3 tbsp water, as needed 1 - 1½ cups Nut-Free Vegan Cheese Sauce 8 extra large tortillas 1. Grate the tempeh using a box grater. 2. Heat a large deep skillet over medium heat with the oil. Once hot, add the onions and cook for 3-4 minutes until starting to soften. Add the garlic and jalapeno and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. 3. Add the grated tempeh, mushrooms, and the Tex-Mex spices (chili powder, cumin, oregano, paprika), and cook for 4-6 minutes, stirring often. Add the salt during the last minute of cooking. Add a bit of water as needed, to prevent burning or sticking. 4. Stir in the tomato paste and lime juice and stir to combine well. Cook for another 3-5 minutes. If the mixture starts to dry out, add 2-3 TBSP water as needed. 5. Remove the filling from the skillet and set aside in a bowl. Wipe down the skillet and return it to medium heat. 6. Spread one tortilla with several tablespoons of the Nut-Free Vegan Cheese Sauce. Spoon 1/4 of the tempeh-mushroom filling on top. Drizzle a few more spoons of the cheese sauce on top of that. Top with a second tortilla. 7. Add the quesadilla to the large skillet over medium heat. Place a smaller skillet on top of the quesadilla so that it presses down on the quesadilla. Cook the quesadilla for 3 minutes, then flip and cook another 1-2 minutes, or until both sides are crispy and nicely browned. Repeat with the remaining sauce, filling, and tortillas. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUBSCRIBE for new videos every week! http://bit.ly/rainbowplantlife-subscribe Learn more about veganism, healthy eating, food photography, social media, and happiness. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WANT MORE DELICIOUS VEGAN RECIPES & INSPIRATION? http://instagram.com/rainbowplantlife https://www.rainbowplantlife.com/ https://www.pinterest.com/rainbowplantlife/
