Easy Quesadillas

I made these quesadillas Wednesday night.  I used the left overs to make more this afternoon.

I am still new at the eating healthy thing, so please do not feel like I know all about it.  I do know that I am not a patient person, and if you remember back to my first post, I used to pull up to Taco Bell or Wendy's and get dinner in less than 5 minutes.  Cooking has been more of a challenge, so I am helping myself by finding easy BUT YUMMY things to make!  I have to give credit to my sister here! She taught me how to create these quesadillas!  http://mcreynoldsmcblog.blogspot.com/

Ingredients:

turkey breast (I get an already roasted breast from a local grocery store!)
black beans (low sodium...I believe these were Progresso...not sure...left overs!)
Rotel tomatoes with green chilis
shredded cheese (I used a 2% milk Sargento mexican blend this time.)
fajita sized tortillas (...these were La Tortilla Factory brand Heart Healthy fajita size)

Enjoy the pictures! My apologies for your instant hunger! ;0)

I spray my old, old flat griddle with a small amount of canola oil spray and start with a small layer of GLUE, aka cheese. (I have tried making without cheese, but they fall apart when you flip them.)


Then add a layer of black beans, attempting to use little juice from the beans.

Then add a layer of the shredded turkey breast.  If you like pepper, grind fresh grounds here!

Then a layer of Rotel tomatoes. (The more you use, the spicier they will be!)

Then I top with a small pinch of shredded cheese for more "glue."

Fold over and let warm on griddle for about 4 minutes on each side, flip as often as you like. (it is kinda fun!)  Crispier tortillas come from more time on the griddle.  The browning you see here is just from the time it took me to load the half up!

These are about the size of a taco.  I cut in half and we usually eat three small triangles. (so I use three tortillas that cut into 6 little quesadilla parts!)  Avocado slices are nice as a side here.
