Spicy Vegetable Quesadillas

I have become kind of a lover of quesadillas. Chicken, beef, vegetable, Mexican flavored, Mediterranean flavored, or just cheese; all make me happy. I can't buy one if I'm out to eat though because they never match up to what I can make fresh. Even my husband agrees to this. I'm sure I'll post at least 5 different quesadilla recipes here before too long. Today I want to share an easy vegetable quesadilla. It is my go to lunch on many occasions especially if I'm fasting meat and cheese. 

Things you will need: 

Small skillet or frying pan to fix your veggies 

Either a cookie sheet to bake the quesadilla in the oven or a flat frying pan. 

Cutting boards 

Ingredients: 

1 chopped green pepper 

1 chopped red pepper or any color you desire 

2 cups black beans (rinsed canned or freshly cooked) 

2 cups of cooked corn or canned 

1 can of Rotel diced tomatoes with chillies 

Half an avocado 

Taco seasoning (I make my own, I will post that recipe soon) 

Butter or olive oil 

Half a chopped onion is optional 

First: place all peppers and onions in the skillet with half a tablespoon of butter or oil. Cook till crisp tender. Add tomatoes, black brands, and corn. Mix in a tablespoon of taco seasoning depending upon how spicy you prefer your food. Let it simmer on low while you prepare your tortilla shell. 

Second: slice the avocado (be sure to pick one a little softer in order to spread it on the tortilla shell). Smash the avocado with a fork in the tortilla shell and spread like it is sour cream. Add as much of the veggies as you would like on half the tortilla shell. Fold the tortilla shell closed. 

Third: butter or lightly oil the outside. You can back in the oven at 350 for about 15 minutes on each side. Or use the flat frying pan and fry the quesadilla until golden and crisp, then flip and do the same thing to the other side. Be careful not to burn (this my preferred method) 

Fourth: cut into thirds or fourths and it should be crisp enough to eat without a fork. 

*the addition of any shredded cheese is absolutely fabulous! 

All the spices really get your metabolism going. Although there is no meat it does have protein and loads of healthy fat, perfect for fighting belly fat.
