Ingredients
- 8 count medium (8-inch) flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 1 count avocado
- 2 count tomatoes
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 can black beans (15 oz can), rinsed and drained
Steps
- Seed and dice the tomatoes and slice the avocado. Do not salt the tomatoes ahead of time.
- Lay 4 tortillas on the counter. Divide half the cheese over them, then top with the black beans, diced tomato, and avocado slices. Sprinkle with the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add the rest of the cheese and cover each with a second tortilla.
- Heat a little oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the quesadillas one or two at a time, 2 to 3 minutes per side, pressing gently, until the tortillas are crisp and the cheese melts.
- Slide onto a cutting board, let sit 1 minute, and cut into wedges.
- Serve hot. Picky eaters can have a plain cheese quesadilla with tomato and avocado on the side.
On the side: Quick slaw (5 min)
1 bag coleslaw mix, 1 bottle coleslaw dressing
- Toss the coleslaw mix with the dressing. Let it sit a few minutes before serving.
