Prep time: 5 minutes

Total time: 15 minutes

Serves 4

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Goya Pico de Gallo salsa (or similar)
• 1 can (15.5 oz.) Goya black beans, drained and rinsed (or similar)
• 1/2 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese or shredded vegan cheese of choice
• 2 tbsp. finely chopped fresh cilantro
• 4 10″ Goya flour tortillas burritos (or similar)
• 1 tsp. Goya extra virgin olive oil (or similar)
• Goya salsita chipotle chile, optional (or similar)

Directions:

1. Using small-hole strainer, drain liquid from Pico de Gallo Salsa; discard liquid. Transfer remaining tomato mixture to medium bowl. Mix in black beans, cheese and cilantro until combined.

2. Divide black bean mixture evenly over half of each tortilla (about ½ cup each). Fold tortillas in half.

3. Heat large griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Brush with oil. Place filled tortillas on griddle. Cook, carefully flipping once, until tortillas are golden brown and crisp and cheese filling melts, about 5 minutes.

4. Cut quesadillas into wedges. Serve with your favorite salsa, if desired.
