What if your two favorite foods had a baby? Ladies and gents, I give you the vegan Pizzadilla! This cheezy, veggie-packed goodness is sure to become your new favorite late-night snack, lunch, or dinner. As you’ll see in the video, I mix the marinara sauce into the veggie mixture rather than spreading it on the tortilla, which helps this recipe stay gooey without becoming soggy or messy. Feel free to get creative with veggies and add your other favorites such as: olives, artichokes, pineapple, vegan bacon, and more.
Also note: though the video shows one Pizzadilla being prepared, you will have enough filling to make two.
