Black Bean & Corn Quesadillas

It's time for a quick fix! Despite being off of work today I wasn't feeling like making a big dinner that was time consuming, after all I did make soup too today. So for dinner tonight I made some black bean and corn quesadillas, they are super easy and vegetarian and I'm sure if you put more into it, you could make them vegan, so here we go!

I started the dinner by draining and washing some black beans (my favorite) and setting them aside.

I preheated the oven to 350 and sprayed a cookie sheet and laid down a tortilla, layered it with some shredded Mexican cheese (courtesy of Aldi).

I then layered on some black beans and some corn and top it with a touch more cheese and then I put on the other tortilla. You then repeat it for the second one if you are making it for more then just yourself.

Then stick them in the oven for 15 minutes at 350.

To have something extra special, I decided to use an avocado to put along side of the quesadilla. I'm new to avocado, so I started with a peeler and then was able to pop off the rest of the skin.

I then cut it in half and removed the pit.

I also put out some salsa that I got in PA yesterday at the Christmas Markets, it's a great Mango salsa. I highly recommend it.

At that point the quesadillas were done and served, and they are nice and hot on the inside and crispy on the outside.

And they always get Danny's sign of approval.

Oh and if your wondering where Gracie is, she was busy playing with Bella at the tree skirt....
