Black Bean Quesadillas

Black Bean Quesadillas

Ingredients

• Flour tortillas
• Canned black beans (drained and rinsed)
• Shredded cheese
• Salsa
• Avocado (optional)
• Sour cream (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mash the black beans slightly with a fork. This helps them stay in the quesadilla better. Mix in a few spoonfuls of salsa for extra flavor.
2. Assemble the Quesadillas:
   1. Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface.
   2. Spread a portion of the black bean mixture evenly over half of the tortilla.
   3. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese over the beans.
   4. If using avocado, slice it thinly and add it on top of the cheese.
3. Cook the Quesadillas:
   1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
   2. Fold the tortilla in half over the filling and place it in the skillet.
   3. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
4. Serve:
   1. Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before cutting it into wedges.
   2. Serve with extra salsa and a dollop of sour cream on the side.
