Hummus Quesadillas

Hummus Quesadillas.png

As the title suggests, these quesadillas are filled with hummus made out of garbanzo beans. They are a great source of protein and fiber as well as a number of other nutrients such as magnesium, potassium and iron. These assist bodily functions such as digestion and heart and bone health.

These quesadillas are also high in niacin, zinc and calcium. Niacin lowers “bad” LDL cholesterol. Zinc assists the immune system. Calcium keeps your bones healthy and strong.

Spinach is also full of vitamins, namely Vitamins A, C, E, K and B6. These provide a variety of health benefits such as strengthening the immune system, promoting health in the heart and aiding digestion.
