Ingredients
- 3 Tortillas
- ¼ cup Hummus
- 1 Tsp Cumin
- 1 Tsp Cilantro
- 4 Avocados
- 1 ½ Cup Queso fresco
Directions
Step 1:Preparing the Tortilla Circles
Using a 2½inch circle cookie cutter (or a glass with a 3½inch circumference and a small knife), cut 3 circles from each tortilla.
Step 2: Preparing the Hummus Mixture
In a small bowl, stir together the hummus, cumin, and cilantro.
Step 3:Assembling the Quesadillas
Spread 1 teaspoon of the hummus mixture on each tortilla circle. Divide the avocado slices and queso fresco evenly between the quesadillas, arranging them on one half of the tortilla circles.
Step 4: Cooking the Quesadillas
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Place several quesadillas in the pan and cook until the tortillas are golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Step 5:Serving
Repeat with the remaining quesadillas. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture. Enjoy these healthy and delicious mini avocado and hummus quesadillas as a snack or a quick appetizer!
