Corn tortillas give these quesadillas richer flavor 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 jalapeño peppers

1½ tsp, chopped, chopped

Smoked paprika

¼ tsp

Corn tortilla

2 tortilla(s), medium

Shredded reduced fat Mexican-style cheese blend

3 Tbsp

Fat-free black bean dip

2 Tbsp

Salsa

2 Tbsp

Baby carrots

⅓ cup(s)

Celery

⅓ cup(s), chopped, cut into sticks

Yellow bell pepper

⅓ 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
