Recipes From the Pantry: Bean and Cheese Quesadilla


Sorry for the delay in recipe posting! Here's the second Recipe From The Pantry: Bean and Cheese Quesadilla
Serving Size: 1

Ingredients
-1 tortilla (preferably whole wheat or brown rice)
-1/2 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
-1/4 cup onions, chopped
-1/2 cup cheddar cheese, grated (or any other kind of melting cheese...gouda, brie, you choose from whatever you've got on hand!)
-1/2 tablespoon olive or canola oil
**If you have any veggies or leftover meats available, add them to the quesadilla in step 2!

Directions: 
1. Heat sauté pan on medium heat; add oil and onions; cook for 5 minutes 
2. Put 1/2 of grated cheese on one side of tortilla; spoon the sauteed onions on top of cheese (keep the saute pan on medium heat); then add beans on top of onions
3. Sprinkle remaining cheese over onions & beans; fold tortilla in half (your folded tortilla should look like the letter D)
4. Place folded tortilla in pan (should still be on medium heat!)
5. Cook on one side for about 5 minutes (tortilla should be nice and brown), then flip and cook other side for 5 minutes (cheese should be melted); enjoy!
