Tortilla Pizza with Soy Cheese, Tofu, and Mushrooms.


This was so simple. Mainly because the crust is just a tortilla. You could use a pita, a slice of bread, or pre-made dough and it would have pretty much the same effect.

Ingredients:

  • 1 Tortilla
  • 1/4 cup soy cheese (I used Sheese)
  • 4 ounces firm tofu
  • 2 small mushrooms
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • Olive oil
  • Tomato sauce (I didn't measure how much. Enough to cover most of the tortilla will do)

Procedure:

  1. Preheat oven to 345F. 
  2. Saute tofu in olive oil until brown and crispy. Add mushrooms. Stir until cooked. Set asid
  3. Grate cheese if needed.
  4. Place tortilla on a baking sheet and spread evenly with tomato sauce. Add cheese evenly.
  5. Sprinkle oregano over cheese.
  6. Add tofu/mushroom mixture on top of cheese.
  7. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until cheese has melted.

Soy Cheese and Black Bean Quesadilla


This recipes uses the same black bean mixture as the Tofu Black Bean Wrap

Ingredients:
  • 1 Tortilla 
  • 1 Red bell pepper
  • 1 small onion
  • 2 small mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup canned black beans, drained
  • Cayenne pepper
  • 1 cup soy cheese (I used Sheese brand, but I would have much rather used Daiya)
  • Olive oil
Procedure:
  1. In a frying pan, heat some olive oil on medium to high heat. Once hot, add onions and fry until translucent. 
  2. Add peppers and mushrooms to the frying pan, stirring until cooked (mushrooms will have turned dark brown and peppers won't have the raw crunch anymore, and be slightly translucent). 
  3. Add beans and stir. Add cayenne pepper and other spices according to taste.
  4. In a separate frying pan, spread oil around until it coats the bottom. Place tortilla in ban and spread 2/3 of the grated soy cheese over half of it. 
  5. Spread the black bean mixture on top of the cheese, then top with the remaining cheese. 
  6. Fold the tortilla over and press with spatula. 
  7. When you notice the cheese starting to melt, flip quesadilla.
  8. Once both sides are golden brown and all the cheese is melted, it is ready to serve! 
  9. Serve with salsa or guacamole!
