Step 1
Boil diced potatoes in salted water for 7 to 9 minutes until fully tender, then drain.
Step 2
Mash potatoes until mostly smooth with a little texture remaining.
Step 3
Mix in olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Stir in salsa until the filling is thick and scoopable.
Step 5
Loosen refried beans with a little water if needed so they spread easily.
Step 6
Spread refried beans over one tortilla, nearly edge to edge.
Step 7
Add half the potato filling on one half of the tortilla and top with half the vegan cheese.
Step 8
Fold into a half-moon and press gently to seal.

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium and lightly oil the pan.
Step 11
Cook first quesadilla 2 to 3 minutes per side until deep golden and crisp.
Step 12
Transfer to a wire rack while cooking the second quesadilla to keep it crisp.
