Does anyone have any tasty, quick & simple black bean recipes? I recently just bought a can of black beans from Trader Joes and it's been sitting in the pantry for a week, not sure what I can do with it. I really want to make a BLACK BEAN QUESADILLA! I have these whole wheat low carb tortillas that have not been touched as well lol but any options / recipes are well appreciated!! :)

    I throw them in with some brown rice, salsa, cheese, sour cream, and all the veggies I can find and some spices too. I call it a "yumm bowl" because I try my best to replicate these: http://cafeyumm.com/menu.html#yumm doesn't sound that great but it can be delicious!

    1/4 cup Drain & rinse black beans
    1/4 cup Frozen corn, thawed
    some diced sweet red pepper
    small amount of shredded low fat cheese.
    some chopped chicken if you have it.


    Cut tortilla in half. Place one half in skillet. Top with ingredients. Top with other half of tortilla.
    Carefully try to flip once the cheese is melted. (this is tricky)
    A dab of low-fat sour cream, salsa or mashed avacado (guacamole|).

    Are they in flavored sauce? If yes then they will be good just heated up or maybe with some cheddar cheese.
    I have never made a quesodilla with them, but I guess you could drain them and mashed them enough that they can't roll out - add some cheese (pepper jack would be awesome!!!) and go to town :)

    I hope other people post one this too!

    I sautee 2 cloves of garlic with a little olive oil, then mix a can of black beans (drained and rinsed) with corn (drained) until warm. I then add diced tomato, chopped onion, guacamole, and a little salt and pepper. I eat it just as so, or in a tortilla, or use it as a dip with tortilla chips.

    Oh I love black beans! And they're such a super food! I put them in my chili but I'd love some other good black bean recipes too.
