In yesterday's post, I promised a yummy recipe to go along with my shiitake bacon. Well here it is! Sweet Potato Hummus Shiitake Bacon Avocado 'Dillas. These cheese-free quesadillas are packed with flavor and perfect for the upcoming Super or Puppy Bowl weekend. Warm up a skillet and let's go!..
Don't forget to enter the two giveaways I have going on right now:
- $50 Amazon Gift Card for whatever your heart desires. In my Popcorn Snack Bowls post.
- The best face/body oil ever. In my two-step VDay post.
These were such a hit, I made them a few times, as you can see...
One with jalapeños..
And one without, with an extra crispy 'dilla layer..
But first things first. This sweet potato hummus, made in my Vitamix.
The concept of sweet potato hummus is simple, you are basically making hummus as usual, but adding in sweet potato to make it extra creamy and with a sweet accent. I love smoky spices to accent like smoked paprika, chipotle powder or cajun spices.
I have a recipe here online as well as in my book Healthy Happy Vegan Kitchen.
The hummus is the binding part of the quesadilla -- holding everything together without the cheese.
Then you whip up the shiitake bacon

Hi! I'm super excited to try this recipe for the sweet potato hummus and shitake bacon quesadillas! I found the recipe for the Shitake bacon but don't see a recipe for the quesadillas. Am I missing something? Thanks!

Great recipe! Thought it would be more time consuming but making each part was pretty easy. Thanks!

Glad you found it easy Monica. Yes, it really does only take a few minutes once your shiitakes are prepped.

Can you make a video of what you eat in a typical day?
Kathy Patalsky says
I will! I haven't been shooting a lot of videos of myself lately, they take a lot of work and I've been busy with a lot of family stuff going on. But I really want to get back to video-ing myself and my lifestyle. Hopefully this spring or summer 🙂
