Tips:
- Make sure to thoroughly rinse and drain the black beans to remove excess sodium and improve flavor.

- Use a non-stick pan to cook the quesadillas to prevent sticking and ensure easy flipping.
- Press down with a spatula to ensure even heating and a crispy exterior on the quesadilla.
- Serve with a side of guacamole, sour cream, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
