B & P Remix!

So if you're like me, and you tried the BLP from last week, you're probably left with some extra pineapple and bacon... maybe not. :) But if you do - here's a remix on the same ingredients to give you some variety in using up your leftovers! The inspiration for this recipe was an item on the menu at Mad Mex - one of my favorite places. Now you can do it yourself and save a couple bucks!

BBP Quesadilla - yield 3 quesadillas

1 can black beans
3 8-inch tortillas
3 pineapple ring slices
3 oz. reduced fat cheddar cheese, grated
3 strips cooked turkey bacon
1 t. cumin
3/4 t. chili powder

Drain and rinse beans. Put the beans in a blender or food processor and pulse until you get a coarse paste. (If you don't have a food processor, you can mash them with a fork or potato masher.) Cut the pineapple rings into 1/4-inch chunks. Spread 1/3 of the bean mixture onto half of the tortilla. Break up and crumble the bacon on top. Next, add the pineapple pieces, and top with grated cheese. Fold the tortilla in half. Prepare a skillet with cooking spray and bring to medium heat. Toast the tortilla in the pan on both sides until golden brown, the cheese is melted and the beans are heated through. Serve with your favorite salsa, taco sauce or sour cream!
