Avocado Black Bean Quesadillas
I didn’t change much. Left out cilantro because my vegetarian daughter doesn’t like it. Added garlic while cooking veggies and added a Chile and tomato I needed to get rid of. Point being, this is an excellent base that you can play around with. Filling but light and refreshing.
