Hummus Quesadillas
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 Red Bell Pepper Diced
- 1 Yellow Bell Pepper Diced
- 1/2 Red Onion Diced
- 4 Whole Wheat Tortillas Medium size
- 2 Avocados Very ripe
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 batch Garlic Hummus
Instructions
-
To a medium sized pan over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
-
Once olive oil is heated, add bell peppers and onion to the pan. Sautee for 5 minutes, or until the onions becomes translucent and the bell peppers are slightly softened.
-
Peel avocados, remove the pit and add to a bowl. Using a fork, mash the avocados until they become spreadable.
-
Place a medium size pan on the stove, and bring to a medium heat.
-
On a tortilla, using a knife cover one entire side with garlic hummus. Next, on half of the hummus covered side spread ¼ of your avocado mixture onto the tortilla.
-
On the avocado side of the tortilla sprinkle on ¼ of the bell pepper and onion mixture along with ¼ teaspoon paprika.
-
Fold the tortillas in half, so the veggie avocado mixture is on the bottom. Lightly oil each side of the tortilla and place on the preheated pan.
-
After a few minute check to see if the bottom is a golden brown and flip to brown the other side.
-
Quesadillas are done when both sides are golden brown.
-
Repeat steps 5 through 8 on the remainder of the tortillas.
-
Serve with extra hummus for dipping & enjoy!
