Black Bean Zucchini Quesadillas

Found this recipe on line - it is from "Fresh Food Fast: Delicious,

Seasonal Vegetarian Meals in Under an Hour" by Peter Berley and

Melissa Clark.

I made these for supper last night - great taste and very filling.

2 pounds zucchini, grated

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

30 oz cooked or canned black beans, drained

12 oz Monterey Jack cheese, grated (I used organic cheddar)

2 green onions chopped

1 jalapeno pepper, minced

8 eight-inch tortillas (I used Ezekiel brand)

Olive oil

Toss zucchini with salt in a colander and squeeze out excess water.

Combine zucchini, beans, cheese, green onions and jalapeno.

Brush one side of tortilla w/ oil. Place tortilla oil side down on

pan (I used griddle and did two at a time). Spread 1/4 of zucchini

bean mix on each tortilla then cover with oil side up tortilla.

Fry over medium heat for 3 mins each side, until golden or broil on

baking sheet 1-2 mins each side.

Serve with salsa.

We also had a green salad with this.
