    Avocado and Black Bean Quesadillas from 5DollarDinners.com

    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 jalapeno to each bite!

    Zippy, zesty and crazy yummy!!!

    Avocado and Black Bean Quesadillas

    Zippy, zesty and crazy yummy quesadillas!
    Prep Time5 minutes minutes
    Cook Time10 minutes minutes
    Servings - 4 servings

    Ingredients 

    • 2 medium avocados
    • 1 Tbsp lime juice
    • 15 oz. can black beans rinsed and drained
    • 1/4 tsp cumin
    • 4 large flour tortillas use 10 inch burrito size
    • 2 cups shredded colby jack cheese

    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.
