Black Bean Zucchini Quesadillas

Black Bean Zucchini Quesadillas

Black beans, zucchini, and a bit of cheese folded into tortillas - this may be the best quesadilla you've ever tasted. (One of my friends made these and added Chicken, she said it was a big hit!)
Yield 4 quesadillas
Time 15 minutes

Ingredients
2 pounds zucchini, grated
1½ t salt
30 oz or canned black beans, drained
12 oz Monterey Jack, grated
2 green onions, chopped
1 jalapeño, minced
8 eight-inch tortilla
olive oil

Directions
Toss zucchini with salt in the colander, and squeeze out excess water. Combine zucchini with beans, cheese, green onions, and jalapeño. Brush one side of each tortilla with oil. Place four tortillas oil side down and spread each with one fourth of the zucchini-bean mixture. Top each one with an oil-side-up tortilla.

To Cook 1. Fry: place one quesadilla in a frying pan and cook over medium heat for 3 minutes on each side, until golden. We grilled ours! Yummy!
2. Broil: Place quesadillas on baking sheet and broil about 1-2 minutes per side, until golden.
