Ingredients
- Cooking spray
- 2 burrito-size whole wheat flour tortillas
- ½ ripe avocado mashed with a fork
- 1 cup cooked seasoned black beans drained well
- ½ cup shredded pepperjack cheese
- Salsa and sour cream for serving
Instructions
- Spray a large skillet with the cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Add one of the tortillas to the pan.
- Spread the avocado evenly over the tortilla, and top with the black beans and the cheese. Place the remaining tortilla on top and press down to seal.
- Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the underside of the tortilla begins to brown. Carefully flip the quesadilla, and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, until heated through and brown on the underside.
- Transfer to a cutting board, let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into eight wedges. Serve with salsa and sour cream.

Notes
- If you don’t have time to make your seasoned black beans from scratch, you can also buy them from a can in the grocery store. Check out the brands in the international foods aisles for the best flavor.
- For kids with smaller appetites, use 8-inch tortillas instead and plan on having some leftover filling (which is great on some tortilla chips!).
