Yield Makes 6 servings

Ingredients

4 medium plum tomatoes, diced
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 can (15 ounces) low-sodium red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon chopped chipotle chiles in adobo
4 fat-free 8-inch flour (or whole-wheat) tortillas
1 avocado, thinly sliced
4 cups baby spinach
1 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar

Steps:

In a bowl, combine tomatoes, onion, cilantro, juice, cumin and salt. In a second bowl, mash beans; stir in chipotle. Working one at a time, top half of each tortilla with 1/4 avocado slices, 1/4 bean mixture, 1 cup spinach and 4 tablespoons cheese; fold in half. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; add 1 quesadilla and cook, flipping once, until both sides are brown and crispy, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining quesadillas. Let cool slightly; cut each quesadilla into 3 wedges; serve with tomato salsa.

Tips:

Choose ripe, flavorful vegetables: The quality of your salsa depends on the quality of your ingredients. Use ripe, in-season vegetables for the best flavor.
Chop your vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly and distribute the flavors throughout the salsa.
Don't overcook your vegetables: You want them to retain their crunch and freshness.
Use fresh herbs and spices: These will add brightness and depth of flavor to your salsa.
Taste your salsa as you go: Adjust the seasonings to your liking.
Chill your salsa before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
