    1 Place spinach leaves in a dry pan and heat until just wilted.

    2 In a bowl combine spinach, onion, tomatoes, 2 tablespoons of the hummus and remaining filling ingredients. Season with pepper.

    3 Place a tortilla in a dry non-stick pan and scatter with a quarter of the filling. Place another tortilla on top to form a sandwich and press down lightly. Spray top tortilla with a little oil. Cook over a medium heat until lightly browned. Turn over by placing a plate the size of the tortilla over top. Hold plate and invert pan. Cook other side until tortilla is lightly browned and cheese has melted. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

    5 Serve quesadillas cut in quarters with rocket tossed in dressing and remaining hummus.
