This vegan Caramelized Onion and Roasted Red Pepper Hummus Quesadilla is rich and satisfying - perfect for an appetizer or meal.
I really love vegan quesadillas. They are soooo easy to make. Ever since going gluten free, I try to use my brown rice tortillas in ways where they won't fall apart.
Actually, this Caramelized Onion and Roasted Red Pepper Hummus Quesadilla wanted to fall apart, but I was extremely careful to make sure that wasn't going to happen. Quesadillas are really one of the best ways to utilize brown rice tortillas.
Am I getting fed up with gluten free bread products? Most definitely! I am working on a couple of recipes, so that I no longer have to buy them. There are some amazing amaranth tortillas that I get locally at a farmer's market, but they are way more dinero than I want to pay on a regular basis.
Caramelized onions are one of my latest favorite things. I have used them in pasta and another vegan quesadilla. What can I say? I love the rich taste of a caramelized onion.
If you have the time, I highly recommend making them. In fact, I would make double, or triple the amount specified here. After all, I only wrote enough for one vegan quesadilla. When you have extra caramelized onions, you can top them on veggie burgers, a sweet potato, mix them in a pasta... The possibilities are endless.
This hummus quesadilla is fun in that in each bite you get a different taste. Maybe that depends in how you layer it, but nevertheless...
In one bite I tasted the rich caramelized onions. In another bite I tasted the fresh, thinly sliced tomato. In yet another bite I tasted the smoky roasted red pepper hummus. You get the idea. It was a taste explosion in my mouth after each bite.
I could try to sell this recipe more, but I really think it speaks for itself. Try it, you'll see!
