Mushroom and Black Bean Quesadillas

Dinner Recipes

Description

This mushroom and black bean quesadilla is one of my favorite quick-and-easy dinners. I created this recipe while rifling through my pantry, searching for a new, simple, and healthy dinner. I love this recipe because the possibilities and variations are virtually endless!

Ingreadient

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
½ cup chopped onion
1 cup rinsed and drained canned black beans
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 whole wheat tortillas
¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons lime juice (Optional)
¼ cup salsa, or to taste (Optional)

Direction

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; sauté mushrooms and onion in hot oil until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Add black beans, cilantro, salt, and pepper; continue sautéing until mushrooms and onions are browned, 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove from heat.
Place 1 tortilla in a clean, dry skillet. Spread 1/2 of the mushroom mixture onto 1/2 of tortilla. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and lime juice; fold tortilla over filling. Cook over medium heat until quesadilla is browned and crispy, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer quesadilla to a cutting board. Repeat this step with second tortilla.
Cut quesadillas into wedges and serve with salsa.
