Loaded Black Bean Quesadillas

Ingredients

• 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1/3 cup salsa, plus more for serving
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• Salt, to taste
• 4 large flour tortillas
• 1 cup vegan shredded cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 avocado, sliced, for serving (optional)
• Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

1. In a bowl, mash the black beans with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth with a few chunks remaining.
2. Stir in the salsa, cumin, chili powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
3. Lay a tortilla flat and sprinkle vegan cheese over half of it. Spoon the bean mixture over the cheese, top with a little cilantro, and fold the tortilla in half.
4. Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Place the folded quesadilla in the pan and cook 2-3 minutes per side until the tortilla is golden and crisp and the cheese has melted.
5. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and bean mixture. Slice each quesadilla into wedges and serve hot with extra salsa, avocado slices, and lime wedges.
