Black-Bean Quesadillas With Goat Cheese image

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.

These quesadillas were easy to make and so flavorful! I used a can of black beans, but I think next time I will try using dried black beans. I also added some chopped avocado to the quesadillas, which was a great addition.

These quesadillas were a bit bland for my taste. I think next time I will add some more spices to the black bean mixture. I also think I would prefer to use a different type of cheese, such as cheddar or mozzarella.

I'm not a huge fan of goat cheese, but I decided to give these quesadillas a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! The goat cheese was not overpowering at all, and it paired perfectly with the black beans and spices. These quesadillas were a great way to us

I made these quesadillas for dinner last night and they were a hit! My whole family loved them. The goat cheese added a really nice touch. I will definitely be making these again.

These quesadillas were absolutely delicious! The combination of black beans, goat cheese, and spices was perfect, and the tortillas were cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making these again soon.
