My son mostly orders cheese quesadilla when we eat at Mexican restaurants. Since cheese alone did not sound too exciting to me, I decided to fill it up with some mashed beans. I also whipped this up in a jiffy by using canned beans. You can sneak in some veggies in this too since cheese masks them and the kids would not notice them, at least my kids did not. If you want to keep it even simpler, you can make the cheese ones where the filling is just cheese. I have used store bought tortillas for this recipe. Off to the easy and healthy recipe.

My Notes
1. If using dry beans, soak it overnight and cook the beans. Then mash it coarsely.
