Avocado Quesadillas with Black Beans and Cheddar

I've finally been trying some of the recipes from Jessica Seinfeld's Deceptively Delicious cookbook. One of them is the Avocado Spread in this recipe. She mentioned that her daughter has it in her quesadillas and that gave me the idea for these. You could add tomatoes, sour cream (Ava liked to eat these dipped in sour cream) or whatever else you wanted. We all loved them though!

Avocado Quesadillas with Black Beans and Cheddar

6 inch tortillas
avocado spread
refried black beans
shredded cheddar cheese

Avocado Spread:
1 cup pureed avocado
½ cup plain yogurt
1 Tbsp lowfat mayo
1 Tbsp lemon juice
½ tsp salt
1/8 tsp garlic powder

Combine all ingredients for avocado spread until well mixed.

To assemble quesadillas, sprinkle cheddar on one half of the quesadilla (the half already down in the skillet). On the other half, spread about 3 Tbsp refried black beans, followed by about the same amount of avocado spread. Place face down on top of the cheese layer and cook over medium heat until cheese is melted and tortilla is golden brown.
