Cooks' Note

Serves 4
Prep Time: 5 min.
Total time: 15 min.

Ingredients

1 cup GOYA® Pico de Gallo
1 can (15.5 oz.) GOYA® Low Sodium Black Beans, drained and rinsed
½ cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
2 tbsp. finely chopped fresh cilantro
4 10" GOYA® Flour Tortillas Burritos
1 tsp. GOYA® Extra Virgin Olive Oil
GOYA® Salsita (optional)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

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

    Step 2

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

    Step 3

    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.

    Step 4

    4. Cut quesadillas into wedges. Serve with Salsita, if desired.
