Quesadilla with Blackbeans, Corn and Tomato $5.10


This is the combo I love - blackbeans, corn and tomato, topped with a little cheese! I like this in salsa, soup, mixed in tuna, eggs, rice,in a tortilla, taco shell, flatbread, or simply on its own. All the food groups are covered with this combo+-carbs, protein, fruits and vegetables, dairly, and countless nutrients and vegetables(see our chart on all 4 of these inrgedients and their health value) Today, I was in a hurry, so I whipped up a quick quesadilla. I cooked it open face to show how to assemble, just top it with another tortilla and bake or microwave(if you have no oven use) or cook in a skillet(on a stove or hotplate) with a drop of oil, and you have a great healthy, easy, filling meal!!
