Black Bean Quesadillas

These came about because, at least once a week, we try to make a meatless meal. So I was looking for a tasty, satisfying, new option. They're very filling and a nice change up from our normal meals. Also a good way to get some spinach into my kids. For the cheese, I used half Monterey Jack and half cheddar. I also used whole wheat tortillas.

Steps
- 1
In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp. of the oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the peppers and onions and cook, stirring often, until they have begun to soften, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and spinach and cook, stirring often, until the spinach wilts.
- 2
Add the black beans and seasonings to the skillet and cook just 2 or so minutes more, then remove from heat and transfer the bean mixture to a large bowl.
- 3
Stir the cilantro, lime juice and cheese into the bean mixture. Return the skillet to the heat and add the additional 2 tbsp. of oil to it.
- 4
Prepare the quesadillas by placing 1/4 of the bean and cheese mixture over one half of each tortilla, then fold the other half over it, so it's a half circle.
- 5
Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add the quesadilla carefully to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until golden, then flip it carefully and cook the other side for 2-3 minutes, until golden and the cheese is all melted.
- 6
Slice into thirds using a large, sharp knife and serve immediately.
