Avocado and Black Bean Quesadillas

Love me some quesadillas.

Quesa-dillas. (Saids like arma-dillo. Really, arma-dilla.)

Really, you pronounce the dilla with a “y” sound in place of the “ll”…but I’m silly and call them Quesa-dillas.

I like to add a tiny dollop of sour cream, then salsa and then a jalapeño to each bite!

Zippy, zesty and crazy yummy!!!

Avocado and Black Bean Quesadillas

Prep Time5 mins

Cook Time10 mins

Servings: 4 persons

Ingredients

• 2 medium avocados
• 1 tablespoon lime juice (can substitute lemon juice)
• 15 oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin
• 4 tortillas, use 10 inch burrito size
• 2 cups shredded colby jack cheese
• sour cream and salsa, optional for serving
• Fresh fruit, as side dish

Instructions

• Heat your griddle to 375 degrees.
• Seed, peel, and slice the avocados into slices each. In a small bowl, toss the avocado slices with the lime juice. Gently toss to evenly coat the slices. Set aside.
• In a small bowl, stir the cumin in with the black beans. Set aside.
• Place a tortilla on the griddle. Cook for 30 seconds and then flip.
• Immediately on one half of the tortilla, add 4 avocado slices, 1/2 cup of cheese, and a few tablespoons of black beans (about 1/4 of the contents of the can).
• Fold the empty half of the tortilla onto the toppings. Cook like this for about 2 minutes. The cheese should be starting to melt.
• Flip the quesadilla and brown the other side until all the cheese is melted. This should take about 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
• Slice into trianglesand serve warm with optional sour cream and salsa and fresh fruit.
