Black-Bean Quesadillas With Goat Cheese image

I served this as an appetizer for a book club discussion about Enrique's Journey by Sonia Nazario. It could serve 2-4 as a main course. It is from Cooking Light June 2001. I use a 15oz can of black beans, drained and rinsed. Then in step 2 just heat until simmering, no need to wait for it to thicken. It's also not necessary to crumble the goat cheese.

These quesadillas were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them more if I had added some more spices.
