Recipes / black beans

Ingredients:

1 (14 OZ) can organic black beans

1 (14 OZ) can organic corn

1-2 cups diced tomatoes OR tomatillos

1/4 cup onion, chopped 

2 limes, juiced

1/4 cup cilantro

1 pkg organic white or wheat tortillas

2-4 cups organic shredded cheese (for vegan use vegan cheese)

garlic salt, to taste

Directions:

Mix all the ingredients except for the shredded cheese and tortillas in a bowl. Heat up a countertop panini grill or a pan on the stove. Place 1 tortilla on grill and spread shredded cheese on top. Then add the mix from the bowl on top of that and place second tortilla on top. (If you're using a pan on the stove top you will need to turn the quesadilla to crisp on both sides). Heat until cheese is melted, tortilla is crispy, and then slice with a pizza cutter. Enjoy! (Escabeche salad in picture in a separate recipe)
