This light and flavorful recipe was created for RSC#11. The vegetables with the melted gouda make for a light appetizer or snack. These are wonderful eaten plain or with salsa. Special Note: Make sure you use enough cheese and melt it around the nuts and beans so they don't fall out, toppings let you control how much zip it has :) Ingredients:
6 ounces fresh baby spinach |
2 ounces pine nuts |
2 shallots, chopped |
2 cups shredded gouda cheese |
12 ounces black beans, drained and rinsed (canned) |
12 flour tortillas |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
Directions:
1. Heat olive oil in a medium frying pan. Wilt Baby Spinach in the oil until tender, but so that it still is separate leaves. Set aside to cool for 3 minutes.
2. In a large bowl mix by hand: Pine Nutes, Gouda, shallots, and Black Beans. Add Baby Spinach once cooled.
3. Spoon 3 tablespoons of mixture onto a flour tortilla. Top with another tortilla. Fry tortillas in frying pan for 2 minutes per side or until golden brown.
4. Cut quesadillas into quarters and serve with salsa or guacamole.
