BLACK BEAN MUSHROOM QUESADILLA RECIPES

Steps:

• Place the black beans in a medium bowl and coarsely mash them; set aside.
• In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
• Add the onion and garlic and cover and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

• Add the spinach, season with salt and pepper to taste, and cook, stirring, until the spinach is wilted, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in the mashed black beans and continue cooking, stirring, until liquid is absorbed.
• To assemble quesadillas, place 1 tortilla at a time on a work surface and spoon about 1/4 mixture onto the bottom half of the tortilla.
• Fold the top half of the tortillas over the filling and press lightly.
• In a large skillet, heat a thin layer of oil over medium heat.
• Place the folded quesadilla 1 or 2 at a time, into the hot skillet and heat over medium heat until hot, turning once, about 1 minute per side.
• Cut the quesadilla into 3 or 4 wedges each and arrange on plates.
• Serve immediately.
