Ingredients
  

  • 1 can (14oz) black beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 4 tortillas (we prefer flour or almond flour) (8-10")

Equipment

  • medium bowl
  • small bowl for oil
  • potato masher

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. First, place the beans (drained and rinsed) in a medium bowl and mash with a potato masher or a fork. Mix in seasoning.
  3. Next, brush the bottom side of each tortilla with a little oil and place it on the prepared pan.
  4. Now, assemble each quesadilla. Sprinkle cheese, a scoop of mashed beans, and top with more cheese. Place a tortilla on top and brush a little oil on each tortilla.
  5. Last, bake the tortillas for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are golden brown.
