BLACK BEAN AND GOAT CHEESE QUESADILLAS
For these quesadillas, I prefer to use my own cooked black beans, which I try to keep on hand in the freezer. Canned baked beans are also an option, but they are higher in sodium than home-cooked beans.

BLACK-BEAN QUESADILLAS WITH GOAT CHEESE
I served this as an appetizer for a book club discussion about Enrique's Journey by Sonia Nazario. It could serve 2-4 as a main course. It is from Cooking Light June 2001. I use a 15oz can of black beans, drained and rinsed. Then in step 2 just heat until simmering, no need to wait for it to thicken. It's also not necessary to crumble the goat cheese.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh beans, cheese, and tortillas will give you the best flavor.
- Choose the right beans: Black beans, pinto beans, and refried beans are all good choices for quesadillas.
- Season the beans well: Add some chili powder, cumin, and salt to taste.
- Use a good quality cheese: A sharp cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese will melt well and give you a delicious flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the quesadillas: Too much filling will make them difficult to fold and cook evenly.
- Cook the quesadillas over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly without burning the tortillas.
- Serve the quesadillas with your favorite toppings: Guacamole, salsa, sour cream, and pico de gallo are all great options.
Conclusion:
