1 15oz can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 red mini sweet bell pepper, diced
1 orange mini sweet bell pepper, diced
1 yellow mini sweet bell pepper, diced
1 avocado, cut into small cubes
1 cup crumbled queso fresco
a squeeze of lime juice
cooking spray
homemade (or store bought) tortillas
In a medium bowl, add the beans and smash them a bit against the side of the bowl. Then add the diced bell peppers, avocado, queso fresco and lime juice. Gently toss together to combine.
Place a skillet over medium-low heat. Spray the bottom of the pan with cooking spray. Place one tortilla in the pan and add enough of the bean and cheese mixture to create a thin layer across the bottom of the tortilla. Place another tortilla on top, forming a sandwich.
Cook the quesadilla until the bottom is golden brown. Flip, and cook the other side until browned - the second side always cooks faster. Use the remaining filling to make more quesadillas.

ReplyDeleteSuch nice thick quesadillas!
ReplyDeleteOne habit from my single days that I can't kick (much to Josh's chagrin) is my adiction to black beans. We go through a couple cans a week.
ReplyDeleteThose look so healthy, colorful, and delicious. Yum!
ReplyDeleteDelish! That filling is so colourful and you know what they say: the more colourful it is the better that dish is for you :)
