Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Drain and rinse the black beans.
- Shred the Monterey Jack cheese.
- Dice the avocado into small pieces.
- Lay out the tortillas on a clean work surface.
- On one half of each tortilla, sprinkle an even layer of shredded cheese.
- Distribute the black beans evenly over the cheese.
- Add the diced avocado on top of the black beans.
- Fold the empty side of the tortilla over the filled side to form a half-moon shape.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, place one or two quesadillas (depending on the size of your skillet) in the skillet.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted inside.
- Transfer the cooked quesadillas to a plate and keep warm.
- Repeat the process with the remaining quesadillas, adding more olive oil to the skillet as needed.
- Cut the quesadillas into wedges.
- Serve with a generous helping of salsa sauce on the side for dipping.
Tips:
- Use ripe avocados for the best creamy texture and flavor.
- Warm the tortillas slightly before assembling the quesadillas to make them more pliable and easier to fold.
- If you prefer a crispy texture, cook the quesadillas a little longer to achieve a golden-brown crust.
- Add a squeeze of lime juice to the avocado for a fresh and tangy twist.
- Serve with a side of sour cream or guacamole for an extra layer of flavor.
