Roasted Vegetable and Hummus Quesadilla

A roasted vegetable and hummus quesadilla is a quick and easy vegetarian meal that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The roasted vegetables add a slightly sweet and smoky flavor to the quesadilla, while the hummus provides a creamy and savory base. The cheese adds a gooey and melted texture, and the cilantro adds a fresh and herbaceous flavor. This quesadilla is also a great way to use up leftover roasted vegetables.

The quesadilla is a classic Mexican dish that is made with a corn or wheat tortilla that is filled with cheese and other ingredients and then grilled. Quesadillas are often served with salsa, guacamole, and sour cream. The roasted vegetable and hummus quesadilla is a variation on the classic quesadilla that is made with roasted vegetables and hummus instead of cheese. This quesadilla is a healthier and more flavorful alternative to the classic quesadilla.
