November Cooking Challenge: Pumpkin Black Bean Quesadillas
My inspiration: http://lindseyskitchen85.blogspot.com/2009/10/pumpkin-black-bean-quesadilla.html
Original Recipe:
Ingredients
1 whole wheat tortilla
1/4 cup canned pumpkin
1/4 cup black beans
1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
salt
Pepper
(My modifications are here: http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=835367)
Directions
Mix pumpkin, cilantro, cumin, salt and pepper in small bowl. Then spread over whole wheat tortilla. Add the black beans and goat cheese to one side of the tortilla. Fold the tortilla in half.
Heat quesadilla in a large skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Turn tortilla over and repeat for another 2-3 minutes or until cheese is melted.
My changes: I added some chili powder and a little cayenne pepper. The original recipe, she had Green Chile Salt or something, which I obviously didn?t have. SO GOOD ? even MH liked this and I was so happy to see a savory recipe for pumpkin.
