Ingredients
- 1 avocado (, peeled and sliced)
- 1/2 cup canned black beans (, drained and rinsed)
- 1 cup mild cheddar cheese (, shredded)
- 4 medium flour tortillas
- 1/4 pound lean ground beef
- 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
1. In a medium pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add beef and using a wooden spoon, break it down to separate. 2. Add taco seasoning and stir. Let it cook for about 5 minutes or until there’s no pink left. 3. Stir in the black beans, tomato sauce, water, and salt. Lower the heat to medium and let simmer for 5 - 8 minutes, or until all the water has evaporated. Remove from the heat and set aside. 4. Top one side of a tortillas with cheese, then layer the beef and beans mixture, and finally add another layer of cheese. To close the tortilla, fold it in half. 5. Carefully, place the tortilla in a large pan over medium heat. Heat the quesadilla, occasionally turning it, for about 2 - 3 minutes on each side, or until the cheese has melted and the tortilla is golden. Repeat with the remaining tortillas to make four quesadillas. 6. Serve warm with your favorite salsa.
