Corn tortillas give these quesadillas richer flavour than flour ones would, and they crisp to an irresistible crunchy texture in the skillet. We mash canned pinto beans for the filling; drain the beans but don’t rinse them, as the little bit of bean liquid that clings helps them mash to a better consistency.

Ingredients

Cooking spray

2 spray(s)

Canned pinto beans

½ cup(s), drained

Pickled jalapeno peppers

1½ cup(s), chopped, chopped

Smoked paprika

¼ tsp(s)

Corn tortilla

2 medium

Shredded reduced-fat Mexican-style cheese

3 tbsp(s)

Fat-free black bean dip

2 tbsp(s)

Fat free salsa

2 tbsp(s)

Baby carrots

cup(s)

Celery

cup(s), cut into sticks

Yellow bell pepper

cup(s), chopped, cut into strips

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mash the beans to your desired consistency; add a little water or bean liquid if the mixture is too dry. Stir in the jalapeños and smoked paprika. Spread the bean mixture over 1 tortilla; top evenly with the cheese and the other tortilla. Carefully coat both sides of the quesadilla with cooking spray.
  2. Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the quesadilla to the pan; cook until the filling is warmed through and the tortillas are toasted, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  3. Meanwhile, stir together the bean dip and salsa until well combined. Cut the cooked quesadilla into quarters. Serve with the dip and vegetables.
  4. Serving size: 1 quesadilla, ¼ cup dip, and 1 cup vegetables
