Quesadillas

So I'm back to work, I forgot in the short two weeks how exhausting it can be. But, also quite satisfying to be useful. Not that I'm not useful at home, just that I take great joy in knowing I can do a job well.
It was lovely though to come home to Xander's (my son) hugs, and his excitement of seeing me. He has taken to hugging and saying quite affectionately "My Mama". Oh the love that I have for this boy!

One meal that my family loves is Quesadillas with Guacamole, and Xander loves to help assemble them so it is a bonus. The Guacamole recipe is from a friend who enlightened me on the value of adding mango to avacados MMMMmmmm. This super fast meal is a cinch for a busy week night.

Quesadillas

10 Large Tortillas
Jack and Cheddar cheese grated
1 Can of Black beans
Hot Peppers (optional and I usually only to half of the quesadillas with them)

Food process the black beans (drained leaving a little liquid about 1/4 cup or less depending on how thick you like your refried beans) add 1 clove garlic.
Heat fry pan and sear your beans turning over until a little crusty, grate cheese. Heat another pan and add a tsp. of oil and  a tortilla, smother with beans and cheese cover with another tortilla and let fry for about 2-4 minutes a side.
Let cool and cut into 6 triangles. Serve with some delicious Guacamole.
