Dairy-Free Hummus Quesadilla

Imagine coming home after a busy day, craving something quick, tasty, and satisfying. You glance in the fridge and find leftover rotisserie chicken and a jar of hummus. That’s when inspiration strikes! You decide to whip up some Dairy-Free Hummus Quesadillas. As you mix the hummus with zesty chipotle, scallions, and lime juice, the aroma fills the kitchen, making your mouth water. You layer the tortillas with the flavorful mixture and chicken, then toast them until golden and crispy. With each bite, you savor the creamy hummus, spicy chipotle, and tender chicken, feeling thoroughly content and rejuvenated after a long day.

Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 20 min

Ingredients:

  • 1 ⅓ cup roasted red pepper hummus
  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1-2 chipotles in adobo, chopped fine (go easy on this, it can get spicy!)
  • 4 scallion, sliced thin
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 4 large whole wheat tortillas
  • 1 jar salsa, for serving

Directions:

In a small bowl, mix together hummus, chipotle in adobo, scallions, lime juice, salt and pepper. Lay out a tortilla and spread a thin layer of hummus mixture on half of the tortilla. Sprinkle shredded chicken on top of the hummus and fold the tortilla over so it is shaped like a semi-circle. Repeat with remaining tortillas. In a large, dry skillet over medium heat place your quesadillas in and toast for 3-4 minutes per side or until the tortilla is crisp. Repeat with remaining quesadillas.
