Step 1

Add the walnuts to a food processor, and process until the mixture resembles bread crumbs.

Step 2

Add in the rest of the ingredients and process until the mixture is homogeneously combined and there are no whole chickpeas remaining, but it still has texture.

Step 3

Transfer the mixture to a bowl, and taste and adjust flavor. If the mixture is too dry add in a tsp or so of oil, or lime juice, and mix in.

Step 4

Set the mixture aside, and prepare your nacho cheese sauce, or mozzarella cheese sauce, and set aside

Step 5

Set up your quesadilla by adding a good layer of the walnut chickpea taco meat, some red bell pepper, pickled jalapeno, and a good drizzle of the cheese sauce.

Step 6

Place another tortilla on top, and grill it on both sides on a regular skillet, or a grill pan.

Step 7

Once they're golden brown, slice the quesadillas and serve immediately.

Step 8

You can serve with some salsa on the side, or some more cheese sauce.
