Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 medium plum tomatoes, diced
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 can (15 ounces) low-sodium red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon chopped chipotle chiles in adobo
4 fat-free 8-inch flour (or whole-wheat) tortillas
1 avocado, thinly sliced
4 cups baby spinach
1 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine tomatoes, onion, cilantro, juice, cumin and salt. In a second bowl, mash beans; stir in chipotle. Working one at a time, top half of each tortilla with 1/4 avocado slices, 1/4 bean mixture, 1 cup spinach and 4 tablespoons cheese; fold in half. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; add 1 quesadilla and cook, flipping once, until both sides are brown and crispy, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining quesadillas. Let cool slightly; cut each quesadilla into 3 wedges; serve with tomato salsa.

Tips:

  • For the freshest salsa, use ripe, in-season vegetables.
  • Chop the vegetables into small, even pieces so that they will cook evenly.
  • Use a sharp knife to chop the vegetables to avoid bruising them.
  • Add the lime juice and salt to the salsa immediately after chopping the vegetables to prevent them from browning.
  • Taste the salsa and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Serve the salsa immediately or chill it for later use.

Conclusion:

Fresh vegetable salsa is a delicious and healthy snack or appetizer that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up fresh vegetables and is a perfect addition to any party or gathering. With its vibrant colors and flavors, fresh vegetable salsa is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
