    This week is all about love. And what better way to show love to yourself and your loved ones than by feeding your bodies healthy food?

    Some people think that just by being vegan, you are automatically super healthy. Which obviously is far from the truth. Case and point - oreos are vegan too 🙂

    So to keep us on the healthy train, today I'm sharing a super quick and healthy recipe for Avocado Black Bean Quesadillas.

    I used to think that my quesadilla days were long gone. But I swear avocado gives these a creamy, yummy flavor that will have you forgetting cheese was ever meant to be there in the first place.

      This has become a favorite. Best of all you can freeze the chopped avocado with the beans, pepper and cumin in one ziploc freezer bag. When you want this again either thaw it a few hours or even put the bag in the refrigerator before you go to work. Tastes exactly the same. I dip it into fat-free sour cream. The dish goes great with soup. I hope you try this. It’s yummy!!

      Absolutely outstanding recipe! I used more avocado to make the tortillas stay together easier, and added jalapenos. It was fantastic! Very filling. Definitely serves two unless you're VERY hungry! I recommend dipping in salsa too!
