Baked Black Bean Quesadillas
These baked black bean quesadillas are my new go-to for "Meatless Monday" when I'm looking for a delicious plant-based dinner option.
Not only are they are quick to put together, but all ingredients are usually inexpensive and require little to no prep. An added bonus if you're someone like me who doesn't want to spend a lot of time prepping/cooking dinner.
