These delicious quesadillas are filled with hearty refried beans, Monterey Jack cheese, fresh tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro. All that's left to do is cook the quesadillas one at a time in a skillet, which should take only about 3 minutes per side. Along with the guacamole and salsa, you can serve these quesadillas with a refreshing jicama slaw alongside. To make the slaw, toss 1 cup each of shredded jicama, carrots, green cabbage, and a handful of chopped fresh cilantro in a bowl until well combined. Stir in fresh lime juice, then season to taste with salt and pepper.

Ingredients

Whole-wheat tortilla

8 medium, (7-inch each)

Fat free canned refried beans

1 cup(s)

Reduced-fat shredded Monterey Jack cheese

¼ small, chopped

Cilantro

2 Tbsp, fresh, chopped

Instructions

  1. Lay out 4 of the tortillas on a work surface. Spread the beans evenly over the tortillas. Sprinkle evenly with the pepper Jack, tomato, onion, and cilantro. Cover with the remaining 4 tortillas, pressing down lightly.
  2. Spray a medium nonstick skillet with nonstick spray and set over medium heat. Cook the quesadillas, one at a time, until crisp and heated through, about 3 minutes on each side. Cut each quesadilla into 4 wedges and pile on a platter. Serve with the guacamole and salsa. Yields 1 quesadilla, 1⁄4 cup guacamole, and 1⁄4 cup salsa per serving.
