280 Calories per Quesadilla
Pretty good I'd say. The beans gave it an interesting twist from the usual quesadilla- and it definitely didn't taste like it was "healthy" haha. I served tortilla chips and organic salsa with them. Also, I didn't cook them on the stove, I used the quesadilla maker that my sister in law gave us for Christmas (which was really awesome to use!). If you're looking for an easy, quick meal, try this one!
