Black Bean and Avocado Quesadilla

On most weeknights families are running in every direction.  Take today for example dash out of work, stop to pick up package, get workout in at gym, and then finally home.  Home yes, time now to deal with mail, the clutter on the counter, and many odds and ends.  Oh yeah and figure out what to cook for dinner.  Open the fridge take stock of what ingredients are lurking in there.  Hmmmmm.  Nights like this is why I always keep beans on hand, tortillas, and avocados.  Perfect blend for a quesadilla, plus bonus they are super easy and super fast!

Only thing missing was salsa.  I did put it on the grocery list and found a random packet hiding in a canister of take out condiments.

Mmmmmm....look at that creamy avocado......Mmmmmmmm

Recipe: (for one)

1 tortilla burrito  size
1/2 can of rinsed black beans
1/2 avocado thinly sliced
1/2 yellow bell pepper thinly sliced (or any color really)
1/4 spanish onion thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon of cumin
1/4 teaspoon ancho chili powder
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

In a medium heat over medium heat the onion and pepper.  After a few minutes toss in the cumin and ancho chili powder.  Cook another few minutes and add the black beans to heat thru.

On a griddle sprayed with some pam, place tortilla over medium high heat.  Sprinkle cheese over entire tortilla.  Once cheese begins to melt top only one half with beans, onion, and pepper.  Heat another few minutes and then using spatula fold tortilla in half and let cook another few minutes until tortilla begins to turn golden.  Cut into wedges.  Top with salsa or sour cream.
