Hummous, Avacado and Cheese Quesedillas.

Lunch Time!!! What presents itself to me in my fridge today? 
*  small amount of hummous made for chicken wraps the other day.
*  some wraps left over as some of us were feeling greedy and opened a   second pack
*  half a chopped avacado that Monty didn't fancy.


Result yummy quesedillas made in minutes (only 2 minutes longer than making a cheese sandwich)



  •  Heat a small amount of oil in a frying pan.
  • Spread the wrap with the hummous and avacado (mash the avacado a bit)
  • Grate on some of your favourite cheese.
  • Fold in half and fry for a minute on each side untill the wrap starts to brown and the cheese melts.
  • Serve with your favourite salad.



For devotees of my hummous (and there are one or two) here is my recipe;

  • Tip one can of drained chickpeas in to a food processor or blender
  • Toast a tablespoon of whole cumin seeds in a dry frying pan untill they are darker and smell great.
  • Grind the cumin seeds in a pestle and mortar with a small clove of garlic and a pinch of salt; add to the blender.
  • Add to the blender a couple of tablespoons of lemon juice, and a couple of tablespoons of tahini (although i freely admit i keep forgetting to buy tahini and therefore make it without)
  • Add a good glug of olive oil (not your best stuff for this, save that for dressings)
  • turn on the blender and whizz untill smooth, adding more oil if required to get the consistency you like. (if you want to make this a little lighter on the calories, use some of the water from the chickpea can in place of some of the oil)
