Grilled Black Bean and Cheese Quesadillas

Today I have some quick and easy grilled black bean and cheese quesadillas for you.  They have a filling of cheese and black beans, which are my favorite bean to use.  Not only do I love the taste of them but they tend to be on the higher end for protein as far as beans go with 8 g of protein.

I cooked these on the grill but you can always cook them in a skillet if you prefer.  You can be serve them as your main dish or cut into smaller wedges and served as an appetizer.  Either way these grilled black bean and cheese quesadillas are delicious. You will see smiles from your family and guests.
