Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 4 whole wheat tortillas
- ¼ cup hummus
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon minced cilantro
- ½ California avocado, cut into 12 slices
- 1 ½ ounces crumbled queso fresco
Instructions
- Cut the tortillas: Using a 2½-inch circle cookie cutter or a glass with a 3½-inch circumference and a small knife, cut 3 circles from each tortilla for a total of 12 circles.
- Prepare the hummus mixture: In a small bowl, stir together the hummus, ground cumin, and minced cilantro until well combined.
- Assemble the quesadillas: Spread about 1 teaspoon of the hummus mixture on each tortilla circle. Evenly divide the avocado slices and crumbled queso fresco, arranging them over one half of each tortilla circle.
- Cook the quesadillas: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Place several quesadillas in the pan and cook until the tortillas turn golden brown and crispy, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- Serve: Repeat the cooking process with the remaining quesadillas. Serve warm as a healthy snack or appetizer.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm avocados for easier slicing and better texture.
- Adjust the amount of hummus and queso fresco to taste or dietary preferences.
- Whole wheat tortillas add fiber and nutrients compared to regular flour tortillas.
- Can be served with additional salsa or sour cream if desired.
- Use a non-stick skillet or a lightly oiled pan to prevent sticking.
