When it comes to the quesadilla, we are always looking to add veggies and protein oh and of course, cheese.

For this white bean kale quesadilla, the veggies came from the kale, which is considered a super nutritious food (if you want to read more about kale check this post).

But if someone isn't into the kale and want to try different green, spinach and collard green are great options as well.

The protein came from the white beans and the regular mozzarella cheese, but you can use any cheese you like as well any beans you love.

When it comes to tortilla, I love cassava or almond flour tortilla; they make anything tastier, but whole wheat tortillas are a great option, too.

What other kinds of bean can I use instead of the white bean?

If you don't have white beans on hand, you can replace them with black beans, garbanzo beans, or pinto beans.

If I don't like kale, what other veggies can I add?

This white bean quesadilla comes out great with shredded brussels sprouts, spinach, mushrooms, collard green, or chopped broccoli.

Can I add different herbs or spices?

The beauty of this recipe is you can make it your own, add any combination of spices you like. My favorites are Italian seasoning or a combination of oregano, parsley, thyme, and rosemary.

Vegan option

If you're vegan and want to make this recipe, avoid the cheese and use nutritional yeast or your favorite vegan cheese.
