LIME & BLACK BEAN QUESADILLAS

Does it get much better than quesadillas? Ooey gooey cheese, crispy tortilla and all the toppings…! They’ve been our go to since we were kids, whether it’s an easy weeknight dinner or game day snack.

The flavor possibilities are endless with quesadillas and in this recipe we added a secret ingredient, our Organic Lime & Black Bean Hummus. The hummus adds creaminess and fresh citrus flavor, which balances out the hearty kale and rich black beans. While we opted for a no fuss dilla, but you can take this recipe to the next level with grilled chicken or roasted veggies!

Pro tip: swap a little butter for the oil in your skillet to make the tortilla extra crispy!

For a light and tasty twist, we opted to use chickpeas as the base for this salad, but if you’re craving a more classic chicken salad recipe, you can easily swap or add shredded chicken. Also instead of serving on toasted bread, we recommend using crisp butter lettuce cups, which can even be rolled up and enjoyed on the go as a wrap!

Yields: 1 Quesadilla

1 1/2 teaspoons cooking oil of your choice (avocado, coconut, evoo)
