Black Bean and Zucchini Quesadillas

I'm working my way through a vegetarian cookbook called "Fresh Food Fast" and... well, its not that great. The original rendition of this recipe calls for 12oz of cheese for just 4 servings and came out at almost 1000 calories a serving. Since I don't want to only eat these for an entire day, I made it a lot skinnier. For this rendition, we'll just fold one tortilla in half per a quesadilla. This is meant to be served with Chilled Cucumber Soup[see my recipe] and Salsa.If you followed the recipe from Fresh Food Fast, do not use this recipe in your nutrition tracker!
