Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the drained black beans, diced avocado, and a splash of fresh lime juice. Gently fold in shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
  2. Take a tortilla and place a generous portion of your filling on one half. Fold the tortilla over and press gently to seal.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a light drizzle of olive oil. Lay the folded quesadilla in the pan, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Gently flip the quesadilla and cook for another 3-4 minutes until both sides are crispy. Cheese should be melted.
  5. Transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board, let it cool for a minute, then cut into wedges and serve with salsa or guacamole.
