This twist on the classic cheese quesadilla gives it a bit of extra flavor to a dish that's very quick and easy to prepare.
Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 6 minutes
Serves: 1
Ingredients
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 large flour tortilla
- 1/4 cup diced onion
- 1 tbsp garlic and artichoke hummus (or your favorite kind of hummus)
- 1/2 tsp lemon juice (or a few squirts to taste)
- 3 small green pimento-stuffed olives, diced
- A few leaves of fresh baby spinach, torn into small pieces
- 1/3 cup shredded cheese (the Mexican/taco blend works well)
- Paprika to taste
- Mrs. Dash Chicken Grilling Blend to taste or another seasoning of your choice
- Place the diced onions and olive oil in a medium frying pan and saute for about 3 minutes (I like my onions crispy, so you may choose to saute them for less time if you don't).
- Remove the onions from the pan and place on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
- Spread the flour tortilla with an even layer of hummus and place the tortilla in the pan.
- Add the sauteed onion, lemon juice, diced olives, and spinach evenly to the tortilla.
- Sprinkle on the paprika and seasoning to taste.
- Sprinkle the cheese on top in an even layer.
- Fold the tortilla over, and cook on high on the stove for about 3 minutes (or until the cheese is completely melted), flipping the quesadilla over once during cooking.
- Remove from stove, slice in half, and serve!
