Easy Veggie Quesadilla

Prep time: 10 minutes

Ready in: 20 minutes

Serves: 8 hungry kids

Stored for up to a day if made in full, kept separately up to four days

What’s in it?

• 1 can black beans, drained (reserve liquid)
• ½ to 1 ripe avocado, cubed
• ½ teaspoon cumin
• 1 to 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
• ½ teaspoon sea salt to taste
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 stalks of celery, chopped
• 2 carrots, chopped
• Optional: 1 tablespoon Activated Barley

How you make it:

1. In a food processor, puree beans. Add avocado, cumin, garlic, salt, lemon juice, chopped veggies, and reserved liquid from beans.
2. Blend until smooth and pulse a few times until all ingredients are well combined.
3. Serve with triangles of sprouted flax tortilla—they can be lightly toasted until crispy like chips.

To Make into an Easy Quesadilla:

1. Place dip inside of ½ of sprouted tortilla (Food for Life is best). Cover with other side of tortilla (making a half moon).

2. Lightly oil a pan with grape seed oil and turn heat on to medium. Lightly pan-fry each side of the tortilla.

3. Remove from pan and cut tortilla in half for two-quarter triangles and serve.

This recipe can also be dipped in a mild salsa.
