Ingredients:

24g
1/4 cup hummus
60g
1 tbsp olives
8g
1/4 cup spinach
8g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
2 tbsp pepper sauce
30g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Your Ingredients:
- Chop the olives into small pieces.
- Roughly chop the spinach leaves.
2. Heat the Pan:
- Place a skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat.
- Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan and allow it to heat up.
3. Assemble the Quesadilla:
- Lay the tortilla flat on a clean surface.
- Spread the 1/4 cup of hummus evenly over one half of the tortilla.
4. Add Toppings:
- Sprinkle the chopped olives and spinach over the hummus-covered half of the tortilla.
- Drizzle the 2 tablespoons of pepper sauce over the toppings for a bit of heat.
5. Cook the Quesadilla:
- Carefully fold the tortilla in half, covering the fillings.
- Place the folded tortilla into the preheated skillet.
6. Grill to Perfectly:
- Cook the quesadilla for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until it turns golden brown and crispy.
- Flip the quesadilla gently using a spatula and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes or until it’s equally golden brown.
7. Slice and Serve:
- Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and place it on a cutting board.
- Let it rest for a minute before slicing it into wedges.
8. Enjoy:
- Serve your delicious hummus and olive quesadilla warm, with extra pepper sauce if desired.

Tips:

- 1: Use a soft, pliable tortilla for easier folding and cooking.

- 2: You can add other vegetables like bell peppers or onion for extra crunch and flavor.

- 3: If you prefer a milder heat, reduce the amount of pepper sauce or opt for a milder variety.

- 4: For a crispier quesadilla, cook on medium heat and make sure the tortilla is evenly browned on both sides.

- 5: Cut the quesadilla into wedges using a sharp knife or pizza cutter for easy serving.
