Grilled Veggie and Black Bean Quesadillas

Grilled Veggie and Black Bean Quesadillas

Grilled Veggie and Black Bean Quesadillas combine summer’s best veggies with cojita cheese and black beans, and are grilled for a delicious summer evening dinner.

I’ve been enjoying my Saturdays at the local farmer’s market, and this was another last minute dinner idea using some delicious & fresh vegetables. We picked out some summer squash, zucchini, red onion, and red bell pepper. I added some black beans with cojita cheese to boost the protein and satiety factor in these quesadillas, and topped with my 1-minute guacamole & best ever salsa! What I love about this dinner was how low maintenance and simple it was, and the kids were able to pick what they wanted to add to their quesadilla. The bean hating husband used only veggies and cheese, but added some grilled chicken to his quesadilla.

To start you will grill up the veggies:

Chop them up into small chunks. Place the veggies, beans, and cheese into your tortilla and place back on the grill:

Once your cheese is melted and the tortillas are nicely browned, it’s ready to eat! Grill time is around 20 – 25 minutes total. This can be served with Spanish Rice or use the leftover grilled vegetables on top of a green salad!
