Black Bean Quesadilla

One afternoon I was searching for something to eat for lunch and could not find exactly what I was looking for.  I thought of my daughter and one of her favorite snacks so I made this quick and easy meatless quesadilla.  This is ready in less than 10 minutes from start to finish. Serve this for lunch, or make a batch and serve for dinner.

Note: Make these your own by adding additional ingredients such as diced tomatoes, tomato salsa, jalapenos, etc..

Black Bean Quesadilla



Ingredients:

Flour tortilla

Canned Black Beans; drained and rinsed

Shredded low fat cheddar cheese

Sliced avocado, sprinkled with a bit of lemon or lime juice

Fage Total 0% Greek Strained Yogurt

Place the tortilla in a heated 10-inch non-stick skillet.  Heat tortilla for about 2 minutes on medium high.  Turn the heat down to medium,  flip the tortilla over on its other side.  Add about 2 tablespoons beans and about 2 tablespoons of cheese.  Fold the entire tortilla in half, and cover the skillet.  When tortilla is lightly browned on one half, flip it over, cover and lightly brown on other half.  Unfold the tortilla and add 3 slices of avocados on one half, top will 2 dollops of yogurt.  And...add your diced tomatoes or salsa.  Fold in half and enjoy!
