Ingredients
2 cups of Zucchini, Grated1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt2 cups of black beans4 oz of Mozzarella Cheese, part skim2 scallions, chopped1 jalapeno pepper, finely chopped4 flour tortillas, 8" diameterOlive Oil SpraySalsa
Mix salt and Zucchini together and squeeze excess moisture from zucchini.
Combine zucchini, beans, cheese, scallions, and jalapeno.
Spray one side of 2 of the tortillas with the oil. Spread the other 2 tortillas with the mixture and top with oil sprayed side up.
You can cook these in the oven broiler, in a skillet, or (this is how I did it) on a griddle. Just make sure to cook until cheese is all melted. You can also split the mixture between all four tortillas and fold them in half and then cook them that way. Serve with salsa. 1/2 quesadilla per a person.
[If you like to use a lot of reduced calorie product so you get bigger food for the same amount of calories, these can be made with reduced-fat tortillas and reduced fat tortillas, bulked out with more zucchini, and served as whole tortillas for about the same amount of calories.]
