Big Quesadillas with Black Beans, Broccoli, and Portobello Mushrooms

• 6 ounces sliced portobello mushrooms
• 2 1/2 cups small broccoli florets (fresh or frozen; use precut to save time)
• Two 15- to 16-ounce cans black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup salsa (any favorite kinduse something interesting like chipotle)
• Four 12-inch flour tortillas or wraps
• About 1 cup Instant Roasted Red Pepper Sauce (page 220), or extra salsa
• Thinly sliced scallions, optional

1. Preheat the oven to 425F.
2. Combine the portobello slices with a small amount of water in a medium skillet; cover and steam until they soften, about 2 minutes.
3. Add the broccoli and continue to steam, covered, until it is bright green and tender-crisp, about 3 minutes longer.
4. Remove from the heat and drain.
5. Combine the beans and salsa in a mixing bowl.
6. Lay a tortilla on a baking sheet.
7. Spread one half of it with a quarter of the black bean mixture, followed by a quarter of the broccoli and mushroom mixture.
8. Fold over to cover.
9. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, using an additional baking sheet if needed.
10. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the tortillas begin to turn golden and crisp.
11. Watch carefully!
12. To serve, place each quesadilla or half of a quesadilla on an individual plate.
13. Top with some of the sauce, then sprinkle with some scallions if desired.
14. Quick and tasty side dishes for this include Pan-Roasted Corn with Red Peppers and Pumpkin Seeds (page 199) and Zucchini and Summer Squash Saute (page 209).
15. A simple green salad completes the meal.
16. An easy potato side dish is also most welcome alongside this bountiful quesadilla.
17. Since you have the oven going, consider Rosemary Roasted Potatoes with Black Olives (page 195).
18. Start this dish before you start the quesadillas.

20. Or simply serve microwaved white or sweet potatoes.
