Mango Black Bean Quesadillas
Updated June 15, 2020
Mango Black Bean Quesadillas with avocado, red pepper, cilantro, onion, and jalapeño make a quick and easy meal that kids and adults love!
We love quick and easy meals year round, but especially during the hot summer months. I don't want to spend hours slaving over the hot stove and I don't like turning on the oven, unless I am baking cookies. Cookies are always worth it:)
One of our favorite easy summer meals are these Mango Black Bean Quesadillas. The boys love them and ask for them every single week. I am ok with that because I love them too:)
You have to turn on the stove to make these black bean quesadillas, but they only take 15 minutes tops to make. You can be in and out of the kitchen in no time and the whole family will love them.
The mango and black bean combo is crazy good. The pop of sweetness from the mango will WOW you! I also add in red bell pepper, avocado, cilantro, lime, green onion, and a little jalapeño. Oh, and plenty of cheese, you've gotta have cheese!
A few quesadilla notes:
- We like to use flour tortillas for these quesadillas, but if you need the quesadillas to be gluten-free, you can use corn tortillas or your favorite gluten-free tortillas.
- To pick a perfect mango at the grocery store, squeeze the mango gently. A ripe mango will give slightly.
- If you are making quesadillas for the kiddos or if you don't like spicy, you can leave out the jalapeño.
- We like to use shredded Pepper Jack or a Mexican blend cheese, but Cheddar or Monterey Jack would also work well.
Looking for an easy, breezy summer meal? Make Mango Black Bean Quesadillas. They make a great lunch or dinner. You can even cut them into triangles and serve them as a party appetizer. They would be perfect for a summer pool party! Enjoy!
