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! 🙂

Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterd Happy Tuesday! I was outside early evening yesterday taking pictures of flowers and I felt a shadow flying around me. I looked up and there a Monarch butterfly. 
🦋
I don’t see Monarchs very much, I was delighted when I saw this orange beauty flying around. It landed on a Zinnia before it took a rest on my Butterfly Bush. Isn’t it beautiful? It made my day. It’s the small things.
🦋
I highly recommend a Butterfly Bush in your garden. The flowers come in a range of colors from white, pink to purples. They do well in zones 5-9. The flowers smell amazing and bloom all season. They are also a great butterfly attractor and fairly easy to grow.
🦋
Do you get butterflies in your garden?

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room. 
🌸
I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

I updated my little corner by adding some pops of yellow. I just love adding yellow and I love adding lemons. Speaking of lemons, how cute is my little “Hello Sunshine” pillow is from @krumpetshomedecor.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which is okay by me. Yesterday I worked on my bedroom and it feels so good having a clean bedroom. It was a chore that I needed to get done.
🐾
My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.

Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle. 
🌻
Do you you like to go to the Farmers Market?
