Method
- 1
Heat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan). Toss the pepper, courgette and onion with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, the paprika and a pinch of salt on a tray. Roast for 20 minutes until soft and lightly browned.
20 min - 2
Spread 4 of your ready made flour tortillas (see the base recipe) with your ready made hummus (see the base recipe), right to the edges.
- 3
Scatter half the cheese over the hummus, then add the roasted vegetables and spinach, followed by the rest of the cheese. Top each with a second tortilla and press down.
- 4
Heat a large frying pan over a medium heat with a little of the remaining oil. Cook each quesadilla for 2 to 3 minutes per side, pressing down, until the tortillas are golden and the cheese has melted.
5 min - 5
Cut into wedges and serve hot with a green salad.
Tips
- Do not overfill. Too much filling makes the quesadilla hard to flip and the cheese oozes out.
- Cook over medium heat so the cheese melts before the outside burns.
- Use dairy free cheese for a dairy free version.
Storing and freezing
Best eaten fresh. Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat in a hot pan or oven until steaming hot all the way through.
