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
  • 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.
