Just hours after I posted my spicy Mexican hummus recipe on Monday, I received a comment from one of my readers, letting me know how much she loved the hummus. Then I got another one. People didn’t tuck this one away for a rainy day. They made it and they loved it, so much so that they took the time to let me know.
This flavorful and comfy spicy Mexican hummus quesadilla recipe gives you an excuse to make a big batch so you can double your pleasure. You can dip things in it and then fill tortillas with it. Yay, yay, yay!
Wednesdays are always tough days for me to get motivated to make dinner. Do you feel the same way? I don’t know if it’s because it’s the middle of the week and I feel like I need a break? Or, is it because it’s the middle of the week and I definitely need a break?
If you’re feeling like I’m will tonight, this hummus quesadilla recipe is for you. All you’ll need to do is whip up a batch of spicy Mexican hummus, sauté an onion—any type you like—and some spinach, fill half of a flour or corn tortilla with the hummus, spinach, and onions, fold the unfilled half of the tortilla over the filled half, drop it in a hot pan, and cook it for three to five minutes on each side.
Boom! Dinner is served!
You’re welcome.

- Click here for the hummus recipe
- 1 teaspoon of avocado oil or whatever vegetable oil you prefer or 2 tablespoons of water
- 1 large onion (red, white, or yellow) – peel the skin and slice into thin slivers
- 10 cups of fresh baby spinach
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 8” flour or corn tortillas
Instructions
- Make the hummus
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet or a large pan on medium-high heat. When the pan is hot (sprinkle a few drops of water in the pan, if it sizzles the pan is ready) add the oil or water and spread evenly in the pan. Add the onion slices and spread them evenly in the pan. Stir frequently until they begin to caramelize or their edges turn brown. Approximately 5 to 8 minutes. Add the spinach and spread evenly in the pan. Stir frequently. Cook until the spinach is wilted. Approximately 5 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove the onion and spinach mixture from the pan.
- Lay the tortillas flat and spread a half inch to an inch thick layer of hummus on half of the tortilla. Put an even layer of the onion and spinach mixture on top of the hummus and fold the unfilled layer over the filled part of the tortilla. Transfer to the hot skillet and cook until the tortilla begins to crisp up and turn a light golden brown. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook until that side turns a light golden brown. Approximately 3 to 5 minutes per side depending on how hot your pan is.
- Cut into triangles and enjoy!
