Black Bean Quesadillas

These quesadillas are a fast, meatless dinner built from pantry staples: canned black beans, shredded cheese, and flour tortillas, crisped up in a pan until golden and gooey. Canned beans bring plenty of protein and fiber to help hit your macros without any fuss, and a scoop of jarred salsa on the side adds flavor with zero extra effort. It's the kind of dinner you can throw together in 15 minutes on a busy weeknight.
