A spin on my viral Grilled Potato Spinach Quesadillas, these quesadillas are loaded with caramelized veggies and Beyond Meat Sausage.
It’s been a year since I posted my Grilled Potato Spinach Quesadillas recipe. As my most popular recipe that continues to go viral on Pinterest, I figured it was a good time for a variation!
No doubt, part of the appeal of my Grilled Potato Spinach Quesadillas is the delicious simplicity of the recipe ingredients: tortillas, mashed potatoes, spinach, and cheddar (or vegan cheddar to keep these quesadillas vegan!).
But now that we’re all starting to venture out into the world again, and grocery shopping is probably a regular part of our schedules again, I thought it’d be fun to add some other delicious components to these quesadillas.
Like Beyond Meat Sausage and caramelized bell peppers and onions.
(Which is definitely one of my favorite combos EVER.)
With the addition of the Beyond Meat Sausage and caramelized veggies, my Beyond Meat Grilled Potato Spinach Quesadillas are a stand-alone meal.
The creamy mashed potatoes, crisp tortilla, fresh spinach, caramelized veggies, and beyond meat all come together for a nuanced flavor profile that really doesn’t take much time to develop.
Just roast the Beyond Meat Sausage and veggies while you prepare the potatoes, and this sophisticated spin on my Grilled Potato Spinach Quesadillas comes together in no time.
Best of all, these quesadillas are:
So try this variation next time you make Grilled Potato Spinach Quesadillas. It’s the perfect recipe to welcome in spring!
You can use any size of tortilla you have on hand, but I prefer the mini street taco-sized tortillas for these quesadillas. The handheld size is really nice, and I think the ratio of filling to tortilla is particularly amazing with the mini street taco tortillas.
My handsome husband is a hot sauce connoisseur, and we definitely have a preferred hot sauce to enjoy with these quesadillas!
Try Pain is Good Sambal hot sauce [aff. link]—my personal favorite hot sauce—with these quesadillas for a perfect pairing. It’s slightly sweet, and goes really well with the beyond meat sausage and bell peppers.
April 2021 Update: You can also find Pain is Good Sambal Hot Sauce straight from their website. Amazon erroneously sent us the wrong Pain is Good hot sauce when we ordered the Sambal this month. And Amazon sent us the wrong sauce TWICE. Yep, we tried ordering it a second time, that’s how much we love this stuff! I’ve let Amazon know they’re sending the wrong sauce, but for the time being, we’ll be ordering the Sambal hot sauce straight from Pain is Good.
And in addition to Pain is Good Sambal or your favorite hot sauce, enjoy these quesadillas with some sour cream/vegan sour cream. It’s an amazing combo!

Ah, I love quesadillas! The options truly are endless for how to make them, too. (And now that the weather is getting nicer, grilling a quesadilla is one of my favorite summer meals!) The addition of mashed potatoes and sausage here sounds awesome. I know these would be a viral hit in our house! 🙂
Thanks David! Oh you are so right. Quesadillas are the PERFECT summer meal!
We don’t eat quesadillas often (Probably because it’s not exactly our favourite thing), and I have certainly never had a quesadilla with potatoes. I think I am missing out a lot! This combination of flavours and textures sounds amazing. More cheese for me, too!
Thanks Ben! Oh for sure, definitely give this potato filling a try! I bet it’ll make you a quesadilla fan. 😃
These are fabulous! I honestly wouldn’t need the faux meat part. I love the ingredients. There was a well known chain Mexican restaurant around years ago, don’t even remember the name, and they always had vegetable fajitas on their menu, and I always ordered them. They were sweet potatoes and peppers and spinach, and just wonderful, so Iknow I’d love these!
Thanks Mimi! Oh my goodness, those fajitas sound absolutely perfect. 😋 Love the addition of sweet potato, what a great idea!
This sounds so delicious! I’ve had Beyond Meat, and I like it, so I’m sure I’d love it in these quesadillas. By the way, your quesadillas look absolutely perfect! You must’ve taken such care to make them so uniformly beautiful. Brava! No wonder the original version has gone viral.
Thanks so much Jeff! Isn’t Beyond Meat amazing?? Their sausage substitute is by far the best on the market.
