Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Makes: 3 servings

Ingredients
1 package 6 flour tortillas or wraps
2 medium potatoes
4 cups spinach
1 medium onion
2 garlic cloves
2 tbsp tamari
3 tbsp nutritional yeast
Salt and pepper to taste
Pinch cayenne (optional)
cashew sour cream to serve.

Method

Peel and chop the potatoes and place them in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil then lower the heat to simmer, cover with a lid and cook until soft (10 minutes).

While the potatoes are boiling caramelise the onion. Place the chopped onion in a large non stick pan on medium high. Keep adding water and stirring until they are browned, this takes about 5 minutes. Once the onions are close to done add in a few more tbsp of water and the minced garlic, tamari and spinach, sauté until wilted.

When the potatoes are soft, drain reserving about 1/4 cup water in the pot, add in the nutritional yeast, salt, pepper and cayenne (if using). Mash until smooth and creamy.

Get a large non stick pan and put on a medium high heat.

Spread the potato mash over one tortilla leaving a small gap at the sides. Add the spinach onion mix on top, cover with another tortilla and cook in the pan for 3-5 minutes on each side until crispy and golden. Repeat until all the tortillas are gone.

Cut the quesadillas into 4 triangles and serve with the sour cream on top and a side salad.
