South West Aurora Quesedillas

These quesedillas are great for a quick meal or snack.  I usually make 18 quesedillas at once and freeze them.  They thaw quickly and cook up as if they were just assembled.   

South West Aurora Quesedillas

Ingredients:

2 cups cooked black beans

1 cup cooked rice

½ tbs. garlic puree

¼ cup sundried tomato puree (make in blender with a little water)

½ cup corn kernels

¼ - ½ tsp Tabasco sauce

1 tbs. cumin

6 large multi-grain tortillas

2 cups medium cheddar cheese, shredded

Instructions:

In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the first seven ingredients.

On ½ of each tortilla, place equal portions of the mixture. 

For each tortilla, top the mixture with 1/3 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.

Cook on lightly greased frying pan or griddle over medium heat for 4-6 minutes per side or until golden and cheese is melted.  Alternatively, you may bake tortillas on a baking sheet at 350F for 10-15 min.

Serving Suggestions:  

Serve with a crisp green salad.  Accompany with salsa, sour cream, and avocado. 

Make Ahead:

Place folded tortillas on 6 square sheets of foil.  Wrap tightly, place in a freezer bag and store in the freezer.  Thaw completely in refrigerator and follow cooking instructions.
