Other Ingredients

Optional Filling: Meatless "Beef" Crumbles
Meatless "Beef" Crumbles(I got mine from Trader Joe's)
1tbspCanola Oil
Taco Seasoning
Instructions
Spicy Tortilla Shell
Heat your skillet on a medium heat.
In a bowl, mix together a 1:1 ratio of melted butter and tapatio hot sauce.
Cover each side of your tortilla in the hot sauce and butter mixture and cook on your skillet.
Note: slightly undercook the tortilla because you'll be adding in your fillings and cooking it further so you don't want it to get burnt.
Taco Sauce
Mix all of your sauce ingredients in a food processor until you get a creamy and smooth sauce.
Optional Filling: Meatless "Beef" Crumbles
In a skillet, heat your oil and add in your beefless crumbles.
Sprinkle a light layer of taco seasoning over your crumbles. Or, if preferred, just add a little salt and pepper for some seasoning. The jalapeno sauce is already very flavorful so don't over-season the crumbles.
Cook according to package instructions; this should only take a few minutes.
Assembly:
After your tortilla is partly cooked in the sauce, add in your fillings: your cheese, meatless crumbles, and jalapeno sauce. Place it on one half of the tortilla, and fold the other half on top.
Cover your skillet with a lid to help the cheese melt all the way through the middle.
Flip your quesadilla and make sure its crispy on both sides.
Serve with your favorite sides: sour cream, salsa, or guac!
