FIESTA BLACK BEAN QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Make the salsa by combining all the ingredients together. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use (may be made up to 2 days ahead).

• Combine the beans, cilantro, onions, tomatoes, garlic, cumin, adobo, salt and pepper in a bowl and toss to combine.

• Transfer each quesadilla to oven when finished to keep warm while cooking the remaining quesadillas.
• Cut quesadillas into 4 wedges; serve hot with sour cream and salsa.
