In 2021 I was working 50-60 hour weeks at the post office and eating mostly fast food for convenience. I was always tired and even on my off days I barely had any energy to function. I wasn’t showing up as my best as a husband or a father because I was always tired. I was so frustrated because I felt I was too young to always be so tired. This led me to start to pay more attention to how the foods I ate made me feel afterwards and I came to the conclusion that my diet was why my energy was so low. Being the impulsive person I am I decided to go Plant-based cold turkey to see if that would change things for me. I researched Plantbased recipes and made it a point to make meals without using processed vegan items. I started cooking meals like vegetable soup, plant based chili and mushroom, spinach and cherry tomato pasta. After a week of eating plant-based I felt so much better that I knew I could never go back. I was so excited and amazed by my results that I created my food page @_PlantbasedBrandon on instagram. I wanted to document my journey and to dispel the misconception that vegan food is limited and less flavorful.

Chipotle Black Bean Quesadillas

Once your onions and peppers are chopped add them to a pan with the oil and sauté until the onions are translucent. Add salt and garlic.

Add in all of the seasonings, the adobo sauce, the black beans, the vegetable broth and mix thoroughly. Then use a potato masher to mash up some of the beans, add the cilantro/parsley, lime juice, mix thoroughly then turn off the heat.

Then heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat, add 1 tsp of avocado oil then add your tortilla to the skillet. Top with vegan shredded cheese over the entire tortilla but, only add your bean mix to onside of the tortilla. Fold the tortilla in half and cook until crispy on both sides. Cut into 3 triangles.

(14 ounce) cans black beans, drained, rinsed, and patted dry

finely chopped yellow onion (1/2 of a large onion)
