Black Bean Quesadillas ( Vegan & Gluten Free )

Today’s recipe is a Black Bean Quesadilla, a recipe that I’ve been making for ages.  It is so easy to throw together for a quick snack or lunch or even an easy, light dinner when you don’t feel like cooking.    My kids absolutely love them!

 Even back before my kids were gluten free, they ate these like nobody’s business using sprouted or whole wheat tortillas. They are so easy to make, even my 8 year old makes them by herself.

With only four ingredients, you can whip these up in about 15 minutes, or less if you make them on the stovetop rather than in the oven.

We also like to switch up the beans every now and then.   Black beans are awesome but since I cook my own beans, sometimes it’s easier just to use whatever leftover beans I have in the fridge.   Pinto beans and lentils are great substitutes for the black beans!

Enjoy!
