Quesadillas
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
3/4 cup chopped red onion
3/4 cup chopped tomato
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

fresh ground pepper
4 large whole wheat tortillas
1 cup low-fat monterey jack cheese

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).

Heat oven to 200* F.

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