spicy bean quesadillas

since our latino party in january i’ve become a bit obsessed with quesadillas. initially we had them to use up a pumpkin and cheese mix which was leftover from a batch of empanadas. having found out how easy they are to make (i’ve always defaulted to the roll-your-own approach with soft tortillas) i pulled out an allegra mcevedy recipe i bookmarked last year for spicy black bean quesadillas.
as well as being easy to assemble these have the advantage of only taking 5 minutes to pull together the filling, which mostly uses store cupboard ingredients. since then i’ve made a batch of spicy bean quesadillas each week, using different beans depending on what i have in.
for me, what really makes this dish is the pile of avocado salad which is place on top of the quesadillas when serving. this adds a dose of healthiness and freshness which is perfect for ushering in the spring weather which is finally arriving.
