A perfect meatless Monday dinner! These black bean quesadillas are a crowd pleaser and easy to “deconstruct” for the kids. What do I mean by deconstruct? I make plain cheese quesadillas for the kids, add corn, black beans, avocado and bell pepper on the side as they don’t like their food “mixed” together. You mom’s know what I’m talking about! Pair with some greens or salad mix tossed in a cilantro dressing and you are ready to eat in about 20 minutes!
