Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup chickpea flour
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 1/2 cup spinach, chopped
- 2 whole wheat tortillas
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together chickpea flour, water, turmeric, salt, and pepper until smooth and free of lumps. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow flour to hydrate.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions and bell peppers, sautéing until they become soft and slightly caramelized, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove vegetables from pan and set aside.
- In the same skillet, pour half of the chickpea flour batter, creating a thin omelette-like layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until edges start to firm up.
- Sprinkle sautéed vegetables evenly over one half of the chickpea omelette. Fold the other half over to create a half-moon shape.
- Place a whole wheat tortilla in another skillet, and carefully transfer the folded chickpea omelette onto one half of the tortilla.
- Fold the tortilla over the omelette, pressing gently. Cook for 2 minutes on each side until tortilla is golden and crispy.
- Remove from heat, let cool for 1-2 minutes, then slice into wedges. Serve hot with optional vegan salsa or hot sauce.
Tips
- Whisk the chickpea flour batter thoroughly to avoid lumps and ensure a smooth, consistent texture.
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the flour to fully hydrate, which improves the omelette's structure.
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and make flipping easier.
- Sauté your vegetables until they're slightly caramelized to enhance their natural sweetness.
- Cook the quesadilla on medium heat to achieve a golden, crispy exterior without burning.
- Experiment with additional vegetables or spices to customize the flavor to your liking.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and temperature.
- Pair with vegan salsa, hot sauce, or avocado for extra flavor and nutrition.
