Dukkah has so many of the attributes of a snack food – crunch, a little bit of salt (as opposed to a lot of salt), spice. I realized that very little salt is required when the salt is combined with spices and ground or chopped nuts and seeds to give your palate that hit of snack-food pleasure. And it occurred to me that dukkah could also fit the bill as a low-sodium seasoning for all sorts of dishes.

Preparation

Step 1
Top one of the tortillas with the cheese and the dukkah. Place the other tortilla on top. Zap for 1 minute in the microwave, or heat in a dry skillet, flipping the quesadilla from time to time, until the cheese melts. The tortilla will be crispier using the pan method. Cut into quarters and serve.
