Quesadillas

Growing up in Texas, we ate Mexican food allll the time. So for me, comfort food = Mexican food. Anyone else? While I love the authentic stuff, I also enjoy making different versions of my favorite meals at home. This is mainly because I can't eat certain ingredients at restaurants. Quesadillas used to be one of my favorite things to order so I wanted to make a quick, healthy, gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegetarian recipe! This recipe is something you can throw together in no-time....plus, it's cheap and doesn't use that many ingredients! I used beans because they are an affordable alternative to meat and they still make the quesadillas taste delicious! If you don't have any food allergies then you can still make this with whole wheat  flour tortillas and regular cheese. Enjoy!

Total Time: 30 minutes
Serves: 4
 
Ingredients

• 8 gluten free corn tortillas (or plain gluten-free)
• 15 oz can black beans (low sodium) (rinsed and drained and smashed to make refried beans)

• 2 cups spinach, chopped
• 1 can chopped green chilies
• 4 green onions, sliced
• 4 tbsp salsa
• 4 apples

 
Directions

1. On one tortilla, spread refried beans to within 1/2 in. of edges. Sprinkle with cheese; top with chilies, spinach, onions, another sprinkle of cheese and top with another tortilla. Repeat for the remaining 3 quesadillas.
2. On a lightly greased griddle, cook quesadillas individually over medium heat for 2-4 minutes on each side or until browned and cheese is melted. Cut into wedges. Serve with salsa and 1 apple each.
