Here’s the deal.  I love beans.  Specifically, black beans. I also love Mexican food.  And when the two combine its like magic in my mouth.

I just can’t get enough!

The only problem is that these little guys are extremely filling.  Seriously. Ben can’t eat more than one. And I can usually only get half of one down.  But that’s ok. Because these quesadillas make an excellent lunch for the next day :)
