Superfood Quesadillas
Servings: 12
Carbohydrates: 36g
Ingredients
- 1/2 yellow onion diced
- 1-2 Tbsp Avocado oil
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 3 cups leafy greens torn into small pieces
- 1 15 oz. can Sprouts No Salt Added black beans rinsed and drained
- 1 15 oz. can Sprouts No Salt Added petite diced roma tomatoes drained
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 12 whole grain or corn tortillas
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- Condiments for dipping: salsa, green sauce, sour cream, etc.
Instructions
- Pre-heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1-2 Tbsp avocado oil to the skillet to coat the bottom. Add diced onion to the pan and let it saute for 5-10 minutes until the onions start to soften. (You can let these go longer if you want more carmelized onions.)
- Next, add in the garlic, and saute it with the onions for another 5 minutes. Then, add in the leafy greens, black beans, tomatoes, turmeric, and black pepper. Stir to combine and saute for an additional 5-10 minutes to let the greens wilt and the flavors combine. Remove the veggie mixture from the skillet into a bowl and set aside.
- Carefully wipe the skillet down and add some additional avocado oil. Let it continue to stay hot over medium heat.
- Next, you will assemble your quesadillas. Cut each tortilla down the middle, so you have 24 halves. Scoop 2 Tbsp shredded mozzarella onto 12 of the halves. Then add 1-2 Tbsp of the veggie mixture on top of the cheese topped halves, then another 2 Tbsp shredded mozzarella on top of the veggie mixture. Top with the reminaing 12 tortilla halves. Cook your quesadillas to their desired doneness, flipping half way through. I like to do mine for 6-7 minutes on each side.
- Remove the quesadillas from the skillet and let them cool on a wire rack. You can leave them as is, or have a little fun with them and turn them into footballs. Take your condiment of choice, and empty some into a squirt bottle. Draw football laces onto each quesadilla as shown. Serve your SUPERfood Quesadillas with the remaining condiments, and get ready to cheer on your favorite team!
