  • Sour cream
  • Avocado roughly mashed with a squeeze of lemon or lime

Instructions
 

  • Drain and rinse the black beans.
  • Place the black beans in a large bowl and lightly crush with the back of a fork so some of the beans split open.

  • Add the rest of the ingredients and stir well.
  • Heat a frying pan on medium heat.
  • Place half a cup of the mix into the middle of a Mountain Bread wrap.
  • Fold long side over, followed by short side, then long side then short side to make a package or pouch.
  • Place folded side down into the frying pan and cook until lightly golden browned and crispy and cheese has melted.
  • Using a spatula carefully flip the quesadilla and cook the other side until lightly golden brown.
  • Either serve whole or cut into triangles and serve with a side of sour cream and/or guacamole.

Notes

We used Eden brand beans because they have been soaked overnight and thoroughly cooked to make them more digestible. They are additive free, and the cans are bisphenol-A (BPA) free. Winning!
