In talking with people about foods I like to eat and make, I’m often talking about recipes that are good but quick and easy. I think it’s a common misconception that eating healthy either has to be a salad, or something complicated which takes a large time commitment every day. I have definitely found I love to cook, and am willing to take on a challenge; however, I too love my easy, fabulous recipes. I have actually found that some of the easiest recipes we found have become my favorite meals. This is true again for a new recipe we tried tonight for black bean quesadillas. I changed it a bit, making a simple guacamole with the avocado instead of just dicing it up, and found that it was great that way. To make this, I scooped out one avocado, and mashed it with about 1/2 a small onion diced and 1 tbsp lime juice. I put it in the fridge then while I made the quesadillas. I also found that a good side for this is salsa corn, which is essentially what it sounds like: mix frozen corn and salsa (about 1/4 cup salsa for 2 servings of corn). All this, combined with the main entree (recipe below) turned out to be a great dinner, and took me less than 30 minutes total to put together. I just love a good recipe, and this one is definitely a keeper! As an added bonus for those who are budget conscience as we are, it is inexpensive to make. Enjoy!
