Black Bean Fajita Vegetarian Quesadillas

These "Ready in 20" Vegetarian Quesadillas are a quick and easy way to feed your family and friends! Served along side a 3-ingredient guacamole, they're substantially satisfying and offer more than 3 full servings of your daily Veggie and protein quota! ;)

Huzzah!

Ingredients that make Four (4) Quesadillas:
  • 8 burrito sized flour tortillas
  • 1 - 16oz bag of mexican blend shredded cheese
  • 1 - 15oz can of black beans, drained
  • 2 green bell peppers, sliced thinly
  • 1/2 large white onion, sliced thinly
  • 1 ripe avocado, mashed
  • 1 handful fresh cilantro, washed
  • 1 lemon or lime wedge
  • salsa to taste
  • sour cream to taste
  • and our not-so-secret ingredient Chipotle Tabasco (it makes everything a little better!)
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees or broil on low. 
  2. In a skillet combine sliced green peppers, sliced onion and salt and pepper. Saute Vegetables until tender and lightly caramelized. 
  3. Meanwhile in a saucepan, warm beans until hot, drain excess liquid. (add Cumin seasoning to taste for an extra Mexican kick!)
  4. On a large cookie sheet arrange flour tortillas and layer warm black beans mashing slightly with spoon on tortilla to create a good base for the fajita veggies. Next add fajita veggies equally. 
  5. Layer Cheese and Chipotle Tabasco sauce to taste.
  6. Bake on 375 or broil on low until tortilla is slightly crisp  and lightly toasted.
  7. While Quesadillas are in the oven, combine your mashed avocado with a handful of fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lemon or lime. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix. 
  8. When your Quesadillas are slightly crisp to perfection add topping or dips of your choice including guacamole, sour cream and fresh salsa!
Pro Tip: Quesadillas cut best right out of the oven while the ingredients are hot and before the tortilla starts to cool. Use a Pizza Cutting Utensil for perfect Quesadilla slices!
Enjoy!
