Vegan Black Bean and Lion's Mane Mushroom Quesadillas
Ingredients
- 1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 tablespoon Sunwarrior’s Lion's Mane mushroom powder
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 1 bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 large flour tortillas or 6 corn tortillas
- 1 cup vegan shredded cheese
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- Salsa and vegan sour cream for serving
Directions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

- Stir in the corn kernels and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Add the black beans, lion's mane mushroom powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Remove the skillet from heat and set the filling aside.
- Build your quesadillas by placing a tortilla on a clean surface and sprinkling half of it with a layer of vegan shredded cheese, spooning a generous amount of the black bean and vegetable filling over the cheese, and adding a few slices of avocado and sprinkle some fresh cilantro.
- Fold the tortilla in half, pressing gently to seal.
- Cook the Quesadillas on a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
To serve, you can cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve with salsa and vegan sour cream on the side.
