Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 tortillas
- 1 cup hummus
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 tsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Wash and prepare all vegetables by slicing the bell pepper and zucchini into thin, uniform strips. Rinse the spinach leaves and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly brush the surface with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Place one tortilla flat on a clean cutting board and spread a generous layer of hummus evenly across the entire surface, ensuring complete coverage.
- Arrange the sliced bell peppers, zucchini, and spinach leaves on one half of the tortilla, creating a colorful vegetable layer.
- Sprinkle a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper over the vegetables to enhance their flavor.
- Carefully fold the tortilla in half, creating a half-moon shape that encases the vegetables and hummus.
- Transfer the folded quesadilla to the heated skillet and cook for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla turns golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from heat and let cool for a minute before slicing diagonally into triangular pieces.
- Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and ingredients to create a second quesadilla.
- Serve immediately while warm, optionally garnishing with additional fresh herbs or a side of salsa if desired.
Tips

- Use a non-stick skillet to achieve that perfect golden-brown crispy texture
- Spread hummus generously for extra creaminess and flavor depth
- Don't rush the cooking process - medium heat is key for crispy exterior and warm interior
- For extra flavor, try adding a sprinkle of nutritional yeast or your favorite herbs
- Ensure your skillet is properly heated before adding the quesadilla to get that ideal crunch
- Let the quesadilla rest for a minute after cooking to help it hold its shape when cutting
