Ingredients

  • 1 pkg Joseph's Lavash Bread (4ct.) (or other high-fiber tortilla)
  • 1 lb. 93% lean ground beef
  • 2 green peppers, diced
  • ½ onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 oz. diced green chilis
  • 1 Tbsp cumin
  • 1 Tbsp oregano
  • ½ Tbsp smoked paprika
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • 1 can black beans, drained
  • 3 C reduced fat shredded Mexican-style cheese (divided)
  • ½ C cotija cheese crumbles

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
  2. Heat a large skillet to medium-high heat and spray with cooking spray. Saute the green peppers, onions, and green chilis until soft, about 7-8 minutes. Respray the pan and add ground beef, garlic, cumin, oregano, paprika, and salt, cooking until the beef is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  3. Place two tortillas on the prepared baking sheet*, allowing one to slightly overlap the other and the edges to cover the sides of the baking sheet. Sprinkle 1 cup of Mexican cheese in an even layer, then add the meat and veggies. Spread the black beans over the meat. Sprinkle on the cotija cheese, then another 1½ cups of Mexican cheese. Press the two remaining tortillas on top of the quesadillas, then sprinkle on the remaining ½ cup of Mexican cheese.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes or until the top is nice and crispy. Allow the sheet pan quesadillas to cool for 5 minutes on the pan, then slice into 12 squares and serve with your favorite toppings.**
