Apple, Sauerkraut, & Vegan Cheese Quesadillas

This year we are increasing our intake of probiotic foods. Sauerkraut is one of the most famous and common probiotic foods. This makes a very tasty lunch or snack. It is a quick and easy lunch to make and quite filling as well.

  • 8 flour tortillas
  • 2 cups organic sauerkraut

  2. Core and slice the organic apples and separate the vegan cheese slices and tear into smaller peaces to spread on the tortilla.
  3. Heat a frying pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Place one quesadilla at a time on the skillet, place a some of the cheese pieces on one half of the tortilla.

  6. Fold the empty half of the tortilla over to cover the apple slices, making a half moon of the tortilla.
  7. Cook until browned on the one side. Flip over and brown the remaining side.
  8. Continue for all of the tortillas.

This can also be used as an appetizer if cut onto smaller pie shaped pieces and used as finger food.
