Quesadillas And Black Bean Pico De Gallo Recipes

Steps:

• Combine 1 can black beans (drained), 2 diced plum tomatoes, 1/2 chopped small red onion and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro in a bowl. Add the juice of 1 lime, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon chopped chipotle in adobo sauce and 1 teaspoon honey and stir. Season with salt.

• In a heavy skillet, heat one flour tortilla. Spread 1/4 cup shredded cheese on the tortilla and top with 1/2 the chicken mixture. Sprinkle another 1/4 cup cheese over the chicken and top with another tortilla. When bottom tortilla is lightly brown and cheese has started to melt, flip quesadilla and cook on the opposite side. Remove quesadilla from skillet and cut into quarters. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Serve quesadillas with sour cream and remaining pico de gallo.
