Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Mash one ripe avocado until creamy, then fold in one cup of rinsed black beans, a squeeze of lime juice, and half a cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Mix thoroughly and set aside.
  2. Take a tortilla and place it on a flat surface. Spread a generous portion of the filling over half of the tortilla and fold it over to enclose the filling.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil, and place one quesadilla in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side.
  4. Remove the cooked quesadilla from the skillet, allow it to cool for a minute, and cut into wedges. Serve with salsa or guacamole.

Notes

Rinse canned black beans to reduce sodium. Use minimal olive oil to avoid sogginess. Mix lime juice with avocado right after mashing to maintain freshness. For leftovers, store wrapped in the fridge or freeze without avocado for later use.
