Plantega is bringing plant-based quesadillas to the streets! Elizabeth and Daniel from Plantega were recently sampling their Chorizo & Cheese Quesadilla outside the Green Deli & Grill in New York City’s West Village, while fielding questions about plant-based foods. The quesadillas are made with NUMU's melty #vegan mozzarella and Abbot's savory #plantbased chorizo. NUMU is most commonly used for pizza, but it also works amazingly well for dairy-free Mexican cuisine. You can try it in a quesadilla at almost 60 Plantega locations in New York City or via delivery from Plantega’s new 100% plant-based kitchen in Brooklyn.

The new Plantega Kitchen & Catering is the first time consumers can order direct from Plantega’s own 100% plant-based facility.
