Black Bean and Cheese Quesadillas

Serves 6 to 8
Time 25 min

Quesadillas are easy to make with endless filling possibilities. Use pre-shredded and mixed Mexican cheese combinations that are readily available. Try using Whole Foods imported, jarred beans for these. You may use any filling that makes sense. Try sliced pears or apples and gouda or goat cheese or sautéed mushrooms, peppers, onions and blue cheese.
