This Easy 10-Minute Dairy Free Hummus Quesadilla with Frozen Vegetables is perfect for a quick working-from-home lunch or weeknight meal. It uses frozen veggies and store bought hummus for a balanced meal in minutes!
I have to admit, being home so much has me in a bit of a lunch rut. During a regular work week, I’ll often prep my lunches ahead of time, or plan to have leftovers each day for lunch. These days, I’ve been making dinner recipes with two portions only because we haven’t really been in the mood for leftovers. The weather is getting nice, and having a warm meal with rice or pasta doesn’t always appeal.
Last week, I started to get a little more creative with my lunches. In no way do I want to make a full recipe for lunch, this takes too much time and prepping one meal a day is more than enough at the moment! So I’ve been trying out new ways to revitalize some traditional lunch meals using the ingredients that I have on hand, in a way that makes then a little more interesting and enticing. This Easy 10-Minute Dairy-Free Hummus Quesadilla with Frozen Vegetables did not disappoint!
I’ve never been a real quesadilla fan because I find most often, they’re too cheesy. I’m aware this might be a polarizing opinion, and don’t get me wrong, I love cheese, but I want more from my meals than melted cheese, you know? This 10-minute Dairy-Free Hummus Quesadilla is the perfect solution. Using hummus as the binder in this recipe works perfectly to hold everything together. Hummus is also a source of protein to help keep this recipe balanced. I used roasted garlic hummus which added a delicious flavour too!
Easy 10-Minute Dairy-Free Hummus Quesadilla with Frozen Vegetables
This recipe uses only 6 ingredients which keeps this lunch simple. I also opted to use frozen veggies because who wants to chop vegetables at lunch?! I love adding greens to quesadillas because they shrink down to almost nothing and allow you to add tons of veggies without having issues with the quesadilla sticking together.

How to make it:
To make this Easy 10-Minute Dairy-Free Quesadilla with Frozen Veggies recipe, you’ll start by sautéing the veggies from frozen in a medium pan with oregano, salt and pepper. Meanwhile, you’ll spread hummus evenly over one side of each small tortilla. You can also make this recipe using one large tortilla instead of two small. If you’re using one large tortilla, you will spread hummus evenly on one side of the tortilla.
Once the veggies have cooked, you’ll set them aside. Using the same pan, you’ll add one tortilla, hummus side up. Followed by the cooked vegetables and the other tortilla, hummus side down. You’ll cook for a few minutes over medium heat, flipping once so each side gets brown. If you’re using one large tortilla, you’ll add vegetables to half of the tortilla, then fold the other half on top in order to close the quesadilla.
It doesn’t get much easier than that! Try this Easy 10-Minute Dairy-Free Hummus Quesadilla with Frozen Vegetables recipe this week and let me know what you think!
