Directions:
-
Place beans in a blender or food processor with 1 tbsp. water and blend until mostly smooth. (Or place beans in a bowl with 1 tbsp. water and mash with a fork.) Add Italian seasoning and mix well.
-
Lay tortilla flat and spread half of the upward-facing side with bean mixture. Spread cheese wedge on the other half and set aside.
-
Bring a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat on the stove. Add veggies and, stirring occasionally, cook until softened, about 4 – 5 minutes. Transfer veggies to the side of the tortilla spread with the cheese wedge.
-
Top veggies evenly with chopped Babybel cheese. Fold bean-covered side of the tortilla over the other side and press gently to seal, forming the quesadilla.
-
Remove skillet from heat, re-spray with nonstick spray, and return to medium-high heat. Place quesadilla in the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes per side, until the outside is toasty and the inside is hot.
-
Cut into triangles and, if you like, top or serve with marinara sauce or sour cream. Now eat!
