Black Bean Quesadillas

With the recent bad weather this past week, training has been quite a bust. I've gotten kicked out of the pool due to thunder and lighting, running has become a thought and biking has been strictly trainer rides. I give anyone credit for staying motivated for areas where it snows for months. It's only a week but I barely have any motivation to do anything but lay in bed. Perfect time for some microwavable food.

Last month I came across a recipe for Black Bean Quesadillas on Budgetbytes and decided to give it a shot. 

Black Bean Quesadillas (adapted from Budgetbytes)
1 15oz can black beans
1 can corn kernels
1/2 small red onion (diced)
1 clove garlic (minced)
2c shredded cheese
2T taco seasoning (more or less to your liking)
10 taco sized tortillas 

Drain black beans and rinse lightly but leave slightly dirty. Place beans and corn in a large bowl. 

Dice onion and mince garlic. Add to bowl along with cheese. Stir in taco seasoning until everything is evenly incorporated. 


Using a 1/2c measuring cup, scoop out the mix and place on one side of the tortilla and fold over. Cook on a large frying pan or skillet till each side is brown and crispy. 



Quesadillas can be eaten now or can be frozen. If you're going to freeze them, line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and place quesadillas on top. Repeat process for others. Place in freezer till solid. Once solid, they can be wrapped in saran wrap and placed in Ziploc bags.

Enjoy!
