Black Bean, Kale, and (Almond) Cheese Quesadillas

From Meredith’s kitchen

 

Ingredients:

1/2 cup dried black beans

taco seasoning (homemade, see *below)

Whole grain tortillas (1 per person)

2-3 handfuls of fresh kale

1/4 sliced onion

Trader Joe’s almond cheese, mozzarella style

 

Directions:

For beans: (or just skip this part and use canned beans – but rinse them first to get rid of any sodium)

Rinse beans, soak in 3″ water for 6 – 8 hours.

Drain beans, cover with water, bring to a boil.

Cover, reduce heat, and simmer until tender.

 

Saute onion, when almost done, add kale to skillet and saute until slightly wilted.  Add beans and taco seasoning, mixing well.  Heat about 5 minutes.

 

With heat on medium, spray another skillet with cooking spray or lightly coat with olive oil.

Place one tortilla in skillet, cover one 1/2 of tortilla with bean mixture.  Sprinkle 1/4 cup almond cheese over bean mixture and fold other half on top.

 

While heating, press quesadilla flat with a spatula.  Once the tortilla is browned on the bottom, flip with spatula and heat until the other side is brown.

 

One quesadilla serves one person.

 

*Taco Seasoning:

1/4 cup chili powder

1/8 cup onion powder

1/2 Tbs. paprika

1/2 Tbs. garlic powder

3 tsp. cumin

(hint: mixed with no-salt tomato sauce, this makes a great sauce for burritos, enchiladas, and nachos!)

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR FitChip CHALLENGE WINNERS!   PrimeTimers amazed us last month with an astounding number of trips to the gym, despite the holiday madness.  But most impressive were the three members who each turned in THIRTY FitChips at the end of the month!   Tim and Diane are really this excited about every workout! For those who received two chips per workout for training sessions, congratulations go to Diane Juras, Tim Ahmuty, and last month’s Member Spotlight Bob Skaggs – with 30 FitChips turned in, that’s 15 workouts each in 31 days! The three of them will each receive $100 credit in their online account to help them keep up the momentum.   And the monthly member who earned the most FitChips with one for every gym visit – kudos goes to Mary Guess, as she turned in 28 FitChips!!!!  That’s TWENTY-EIGHT visits to the gym during the month of December – WOW!  For her dedication to her health and fitness, Mary will receive a free month’s membership!   Honorable Mentions go to the following for their awesomeness as well: In the Training/Group X category: Laura Bryan – 28 chips Lori Melsopp – 28 chips Kevin Grooms – 27 chips Gayle Smith – 27 chips Chuck Jacobson – 26 chips Tim Bryan – 26 chips And in the Monthly Membership category, Meredith Regan gets a shout-out with 21 FitChips turned in! A PrimeTime HURRAH! also needs to go to Chuck Jacobson – we can dub him “Most Likely To Get The Most out of his Gym Membership” – his FitChips were earned from almost every PrimeTime service offered: Personal Training, Group X, and gym membership (on his non-training days).  Now we just need to get Chuck in a PrimeTime Pedal workout and he’ll have it all covered!   We hope everyone enjoyed the FitChip Challenge – stay tuned for more in the future!
