8- 6" corn tortillas
1 can black beans (drained & rinsed)
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
2 cups fresh or frozen spinach
1 cup low-fat mexican shredded cheese
1 T. olive oil
2 tsp. minced garlic
1/8 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. cumin
2 oz. tequila
Optional:
Other seasonings, to your taste (I used a bit of chili powder, a dash of garlic salt, and cracked pepper)


How Do I Make Black Bean and Spinach Quesadilla?

Here is how you make Black Bean and Spinach Quesadilla:

In a deep skillet, heat olive oil and sautee garlic for 1 to 2 minutes. Add onion and pepper; season with oregano and cumin and simmer for 2 minutes, or until onion begins to soften. Add tequila and drained/rinsed beans and simmer 2 more minutes. Then add spinach, reduce heat, and cover to steam until wilted (about 3-5 minutes). Uncover and simmer until all liquid is evaporated.In a separate small fry pan, place 1 tortilla in skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup cheese. Top with 1/4 bean/spinach mixture and second tortilla. Cook 2 minutes per side, or until browned. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Slice into wedges; serve with salsa and low-fat sour cream, if desired.TIPS:* Keep the heat to HIGH on the fry pan to get a nice crispy tortilla in a shorter time.* For easier cutting into wedges, let the quesadilla cool for just a minute or two, and then slice with a pizza cutter. Cutting while very hot results in the quesadillas falling apart or spilling out the filling (as I learned quickly!).Makes 4 quesadilla servings.
