Chorizo Black Bean Quesadillas
These easy, 5-ingredient Chorizo Black Bean Quesadillas are a satisfying protein-and-fiber-packed meal!
Ingredients
- 4 lower cal/carb 8” flour tortillas (I use Mission Carb Balance Soft Taco Flour Tortillas)
- 4 oz shredded 2% milk reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup drained and rinsed canned black beans
- 8 tablespoons salsa (I used roasted tomato flavored salsa)
- 4 oz cooked chorizo sausage crumbled or chopped small (see notes above)
Instructions
- To build each quesadilla, place a tortilla on a clean dry surface like a cutting board and sprinkle a ½ ounce of the shredded cheese over half of the surface of the tortilla. Add ¼ cup of the black beans in a single layer over the top of the cheese and follow with two tablespoons of the salsa. Add one ounce of the chorizo on top of the salsa and then sprinkle another ½ ounce of the shredded cheese over the top. Fold the empty half of the tortilla over the filling to form a quesadilla. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make the remaining three quesadillas (or store the remaining ingredients separately if not serving all four at once).
- Lightly mist both sides of the quesadilla(s) with cooking spray. Bring a large griddle pan or skillet to medium heat and place the quesadillas on the pan (you may have to work in batches). Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the underside of the tortilla starts to turn golden, then flip and cook on the other side for another 2-3 minutes until the underside is golden and the cheese inside is melted. Cut each quesadilla into triangles with a knife or pizza cutter and serve.
