Instructions:

- Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese over the black beans.
- Add dollops of cottage cheese on top of the Swiss cheese layer.

- Fold the tortilla in half, pressing down gently to ensure it sticks and forms a semi-circle.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Place the folded quesadilla in the preheated skillet.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the tortilla is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese inside is melted.
- Use a spatula to flip the quesadilla carefully to ensure even cooking on both sides.
- Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute.
- Slice into wedges or halves.
- Serve immediately with additional salsa or sour cream if desired.
Tips:
- Use whole wheat tortillas to add more fiber and nutrients to your meal.
- If you like a bit of heat, consider adding some chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the filling.
- Feel free to add other veggies like bell peppers, onions, or spinach to make the quesadillas even more nutritious and flavorful.
- To make the quesadillas crispier, cook them on a slightly higher heat but be careful not to burn them.
- Serve with a side of guacamole, sour cream, or extra salsa for added flavor and texture.
