    When I made this Black Bean Chimichurri Salad, I had noted in my recipe notebook to make a grilled sandwich or quesadilla with it. The Roasted Sweet potatoes, some beans, crunchy veggies, Refreshing Chimichurri and vegan cheese is a perfect grilled combination in a quesadilla or sandwich. 

    Use cooked beans of choice such as black, kidney or pinto, some crunchy or roasted peppers or veggies and sweet potatoes and grill it all up with the chimichurri sauce and optional vegan cheese. This garlic sauce drizzle also works great. It thickens and sticks to make a cheesy addition that holds the veggies together. 

    Easy, Summery, Delicious. Yes and yes!

      I’ve had to stop buying tortillas because my husband eats them all (3 at a time, as they are, warmed and rolled up) and when I go to the fridge to get some out they are all gone. He’s not quite so keen on whole wheat pitta bread so I buy that and use it instead. I cut the pitta in half, open the half up fully so I can load it more easily, fold it back in half and put it in the toasted sandwich maker. Super fresh tasting & yummy. Thanks Richa!

      making this for the first time today…my first ever chimichurri. I omitted the xvoo and added half a half avocado. Fresh parsley and oregano plus basil and a tiny bit of cilantro. Did the first 40 plus years of my life really go by without tasting this till now?! Yum! Thanks for sharing – mmmm!

      I’m looking forward to trying this. Where do the 1/2 cup of onions get added? I don’t see them mentioned in the directions. Thanks!

      Hi Richa, can I replace the oil with more avo maybe? Will it spoil the taste balance?

      Reply

        June 09, 2018 at 10:09 am

        Just skip the oil and add a bit of water as needed for the consistency. Too much avo would take away from the fresh herb flavor.

      I’m on the low fodmap diet and need to avoid black beans – any suggestions for what I can use as replacement? would lentils/chickpeas work?

        yes, use any beans, chickpeas or lentils. You can also precook the mixture so the veggies and beans pick up flavor from the chimihurri and the spices before adding to the quesadilla
