Black Bean and Roasted Red Pepper Quesadilla

October 8, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 10 Comments

Hi Everyone,

You know what I haven’t had in FOREVER?  Mexican food!  I think it’s been like two weeks.  That is a long time for me.  Last week I was a snacker.  You know what a snacker is?  Someone who prefers to eat a bunch of tiny things than eating a full meal.  I think I did that most of last week.  Well after last weeks sweets,  treats and snacks, I told you and myself that this week I was going to get healthier.  I told myself, no snacking, eat three full meals a day, a mid morning snack and my after dinner frozen yogurt.  I have done good!  I have done that since Friday and I feel so much better about myself.  One thing about snacking is you tend to over eat.  So silly!  But this week, I am back to my old self and wanting Mexican so I whipped together a 10 minute total time for dinner.  And let me tell you it is sooooooooooo good!

Black Bean and Roasted Red Pepper Quesadilla
I made cheesy, beany, roasted red pepper quesadillas! I haven’t had a quesadilla in about a year! I happened to wander into my local Mexican grocery store yesterday and all I could smell was something wonderful throughout the store.  My mission was to find where the smell was coming from!  I let my nose do the leading and there it was.  Thy were making fresh flour tortillas in the bakery. Oh my gosh!!!  I had to have them!!   So I bought a 12 pack and they were still warm in the packaging. I had to control myself from eating one right then and there! When I cam home from the gym, there was no hello, it was I need to make a quesadilla now!!! I whipped together this wonderful quesadilla in a matter of minutes. A piece of advice, when you go to a Mexican grocery store buy the flour tortillas. They aren’t great on nutrition, but only contain a 100 calories and so worth it!! So worth it! Homemade beats the stuff in the store by a long shot. They are light, flaky and taste authentic! Trust me on this one! One thing I know is bread and tortillas!!!  Oh and if you never been to a Mexican grocery store, go to one!  It’s so much fun!!
Black Bean and Roasted Red Pepper Quesadilla
The quesadilla is made with black beans, roasted red pepper from a jar, avocado and Monterey Jack Cheese. I made one with the addition of salsa, but it made it a tad to watery, so I skipped it on the second one. I sprayed a 10″ frying pan with cooking spray, added my tortilla and added my topping while it was in the pan. Makes it easier doing it this way than transporting the filled tortilla to the pan.
Black Bean and Roasted Red Pepper Quesadilla
The quesadilla was perfect! It was thick, cheesy, creamy and had a nice crunchy shell. I forgot how much I love quesadillas. I don’t have them to much because of calories, but this one only came out to 265 calories, which is pretty darn good! I had the quesadilla with a side salad. Perfect for a weeknight meal!

Black Bean and Roasted Red Pepper Quesadilla
I just love quick and easy meals like this, especially when you come home from work and the last thing you feel like doing is making dinner! I have to say it again, if you go to a Mexican grocery store, pick up the tortillas.  You will not regret it!!!  Just be sure you don’t go much over 100 calories.  So worth it!!

Well my Friends, How I Met Your Mother will be on in a few minutes, so I am off to chill out for the rest of the evening!!

Have a great day!!


Toodles,

Jennifer

    Jennifer, you are right on about fresh tortillas. We have a regular grocery, which caters largely to Mexicans (80% of our population is Latino), and they have a tortilleria. Their tortillas are the best I’ve ever bought, and everybody is willing to stand in line to get those tortillas. I’m surprised that the store sells any of the commercial tortillas. I personally prefer my homemade whole wheat/mesquite flour tortillas, but when I don’t have time to make them, I know where to go to get good ones. I’m glad you have a place locally that makes good ones.

      Our population is probably about 50% latino and boy do they make the best Mexican food from tortillas to tamales!! I like to make my own tortillas but buying them is so much more convenient! And less work! 🙂

My patio area is kind  of an awkward space because we used to have a large pool that we took out a few years ago. We built our space around the pool. So we have lots of odd corners, but it works for us. I really like my backyard.

I went with light cool colors for my backyard space because of the heat and sun. I have always loved the coastal look. I do love to add a pop of color with flowers. Give me all the flowers! 

I hope you check out everyone’s outdoor space. I love this time of year and I can always use more outdoor inspiration.

Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreat Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreations made a gorgeous DIY Tabletop Firepit and I had to run out and got all the pieces to make one of my own. Kelly’s is so gorgeous and fun. Perfect for evenings outside.
🩵
However, when I started to make mine I realized that my dogs are to interested in it, as you can see from the video. I was afraid they would try to get close to the fire and burn themselves. So I came up with another idea, where I could get the same effect without the fire.
🩵
A couple weeks ago my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs shared some solar candles that I thought were pretty, and would be great to use on my table. I’m a sucker for anything solar. 😂 So of course I ordered some. I decided to use the solar candles in my pot in place of the tiki fire. I think it turned out great. I just need to add a few more rocks to it, which I’ll get this weekend.
🩵
Be sure to check out Kelly @farmtotablecreations to see her firepit and also check out how Claire @huntersridge_designs styled her solar candles. Both of there accounts are inspiring.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working outside that I have not worked on decorating my dining room for Mother’s Day or Spring. It’s a bare slate as of right now. So I thought I would share with you last years tablescape that I did for Mother’s Day.
💗
This Mother’s Day,(Saturday) little Jenny is taking me to the @gratoncasino to get a pedicure and possibly lounge at the pool, if it is warm enough outside. Then we will go for a nice lunch. I can’t wait. Sunday, I’ll spend Mother’s Day with the boys. 🐶🐶
💗
Hope you have a fabulous day!!

Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend in between the rain and cold. It was pretty chilly to me. I did get some plants planted and my husband added a new drip line in my big garden. Hopefully my flowers will thrive better this year. 
🌷
On Friday, I watched 3 episodes of Firefly Lane on Netflix. If you like girl type series, I highly recommend. It’s so well written. It’s about best friends growing older together. Unfortunately this is the last of the series. I’ll miss it. I also read that Yellowstone will come back in November and that will be the end of the series. I’ll miss that show. At least I have Virgin River to look forward too. My husband likes Virgin River too.
🌷
Anyway, here is a view of my clean kitchen. I put together this little vignette for Mother’s Day inspiration. I love the Italian Soda from Trader Joe’s, but boy does it give me bad heartburn. I always just drink a little. Actually, anything sparkling, except regular soda, gives me heartburn. So strange. 
🌷
Have a great week!

Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturd Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturday in forever. Today we are getting rain again. Last week it was 90 and sunny and now back to the 60’s, but we are going to hit 90 by next weekend. I can’t wait. I’m over this wacky weather we are having. 
💙
I took down my Easter decor a few weeks ago and went back to using blues and greens in the living room. I think the colors look fresh and clean. Once the weather gets nicer, I’ll start to add in some yellows. I love yellow for the summer.
💙
Next weekend is Mother’s Day. Do you have any plans for the holiday?
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you how I styled @myclaireburke pieces that I received. Let me tell you I love Claire Burke. I have been using there products for more than 25 years.
💗
In my 20’s, I used to go to Macy’s with my mom and in the bedding department they had a section of Claire Burke. I always bought there Original Scent potpourri. It smells like spring flowers with roses and lavender and it’s also beautiful to look at.
💗
If you are looking for a Mother’s Day gift, I highly recommend. I love the Original scent, if you like a floral scent. If you are more for fresh clean scent, the Sea Salt and Grapefruit is amazing. If you like fresh linen I recommend Wild Cotton. I promise they won’t disappoint. Oh and the Electric Fragrance Warmer is also Claire Burke. Works fabulous! 
💗
My Claire Burke ships fast too! They were kind enough to give my followers a 20% discount code: PBANDP.
💗
Have a beautiful day!!

Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to g Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to get outside and work on my patio space, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to enjoy it this week. We are back to winter temps, high winds and rain. They are calling it “May Gray”. Such weird weather this year. 
🌼
I was able to put out my new rug that you all helped me to pick out. I just love the blue. I decided to go with blues and yellows for my outdoor space. I think the yellow brightens up the space. I just need to get more flowers because after all you can never have too many flowers. 
🌼
I wanted to also share with you my new side table from @vicllax_outdoor. I love the white color. It really helps to brighten this space. The table is made of metal, comes in 4 colors and is easy to put together. This table is perfect for a small space too. I couldn’t be happier. 
🌼
Have you setup your patio space yet?

Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather. Sunny, light breeze and in the 70’s. I did a lot of yard clean-up. I just need some dirt and my raised beds will be ready for planting.
🌼
I planned on working on the patio area, but time just went to fast. My husband repaired the trellis that fell over from the wind. We had the Morning Glory on it, but we got rid of it because it is highly toxic to dogs. I ordered a climbing rose from Heirloom Roses that will be delivered next week. 
🌼
I’m sharing with you the Beverage Tub that I bought from Target that I am using as a planter. My husband drilled 1/4” holes 4” apart on the metal insert.  I added a pot to the tub to give the flowers a lift. The handles on the tub are not bendable and I didn’t want to break the flowers and I wanted it to be easier to lift the flowers out, if I decide to change the flowers.
🌼
I love the look! Once I work on the patio area, I’ll move the table and flowers to the patio area. So excited to be working outside. Have a beautiful day!

Happy Wednesday! I am sharing with you my garden f Happy Wednesday! I am sharing with you my garden from last year. I’m gearing myself up to start working in the garden this weekend. It’s supposed to be mid 70’s. So if all goes planned you will be seeing quite a few gardening posts. 
🌺
Last years extreme summer heat took a major toll on my garden. I lost quite a few plants. 😫 For some reason I lost my Butterfly Bush. I plan on adding another one in the same spot. A lot of my lower flowers like Hummingbird Mint and my Coneflowers didn’t survive. We will be looking at the sprinkler system to make sure the plants are getting enough water. 
🌺
At least this garden is mainly annuals, so it should fill up with some color soon. I’m unsure what to do with my other gardens as my dogs have destroyed them. They keep on digging in the dirt. Maybe I should get them a sandbox to play in?
🌺
Have you started to work in your garden?

Happy Monday! Is there anything better than loungi Happy Monday! Is there anything better than lounging in bed reading a book to your fur babies? The boys 🐶🐶 just loved it. 
🐾
The boys will do anything to get on the bed, especially when you put on the @downlitebedding. I know you have heard me say it before, but they love there Downlite Bedding comforters and pillows. I have never seen 2 dogs get so excited.
🐾
We are all cozied up with the new Renew Comforter. It’s so soft and fluffy and not super heavy which is great for Spring weather. The comforter is 100% organic, 300 thread count with Lockshift baffle box construction and is machine washable!!
