This recipe is OK for those on the LMD (Low Microbial Diet)--Dairy OK, as long as the vegetables are well cooked. Jarred salsa must be used.

 Ingredients:

    4 large whole wheat flour tortillas                                1 cup low-fat jack cheese
    1 15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed           2 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
    3/4 cup chopped tomatoes                                           3/4 cup chopped red onion
    Salsa & Sour Cream as toppers

Cooking Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
2. Lay the tortillas out on a work surface and arrange the cheese, beans, cilantro, red onion and tomatoes on half of each tortilla. Fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling.
3. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Carefully cook one quesadilla at a time in the skillet until lightly browned on both sides. Transfer the browned quesadilla to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while cooking the rest.

A smaller tortilla can be used to cut carbohydrates; cheese & sour cream can be left out toe lower fat even more; tomatoes can be omitted as well--if desired.
