Bean and Avocado Quesadilla

• 
  
  2 onions, sliced and sauteed over low heat until caramelized


• 
  
  8 oz of mushrooms sliced and sauteed


• 
  
  1 avocado, mashed


• 
  
  1 can of refried beans


• 
  
  10 tortillas (preferably whole wheat - I used millet and flax tortillas that I got from Richard's Foodporium. They are made by Sami's Bakery in Tampa.)

Here's what I did to assemble them -

On one tortilla 1 spread a thin layer of the avocado, on the other tortilla I spread the refried beans and then topped it with the sauteed mushrooms and onions. Put the 2 together, lightly brush the outside with butter (Earth Balance is a non-dairy butter, but I wasn't wild about it. I have been using Smart Balance made with olive oil.) and lightly fry on each side until golden brown.

We made a salad to go with the meal. We use green leaf and red leaf lettuce (more nutritious than typical lettuce). We added tomatoes, onions, refried beans, and a few crunched up healthy tortilla chips.
