Spinach and Black Bean Taquitos
I made these taquitos for my mom the other day and she was certainly skeptical when I told her what I was making. As she watched me make them, she still wasn't sure. When they came out of the oven, I gave her a small plate and she hesitantly took a bite. To my delight, she loved them and even had seconds. So if you're not sure about these, I dare you to give them a try, because they are healthy and delicious.
The instructions might seem intimidating, because you have to get out your food processor, but it's really very easy and from start to finish and only takes about 30 minutes (longer if you count oven preheating time.) Click here for printer friendly version.
Preheat oven to 425 F. Process 1 (15 oz) can drained and rinsed black beans, 2 T salsa, 1/2 tsp minced garlic, 1 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, and 1 T lime juice until mostly smooth.
Add 6 oz thawed and drained frozen chopped spinach to processor and pulse until incorporated
Transfer mixture to a bowl and stir in 1 C shredded Mexican blend cheese and 1/2 C frozen corn kernels until well incorporated.
Roll 1/4 C mixture in an 8-in whole wheat tortilla and place seam side down on a greased baking sheet. Repeat with remaining mixture ending with 8 or 9 taquitos.
Spray the taquitos with a little oil and bake 20-25 minutes until lightly toasted. Enjoy!

Chicken and Sweet Pepper Quesadilla and Tasty Tuesday Linkup
I love quesadillas. I mentioned in my Chicken and Broccoli Quesadilla recipe, that I made and ate them a lot back in college. These days, I make them when we need a quick meal. The kids usually love them and I can sneak in quite a few things without anyone really noticing or caring. I finely diced the peppers in these and it took several bites before David (aka: Mr. I don't like peppers) noticed and he ended up not even minding. Score one for me (aka: Mrs. eats peppers like candy).
The ingredient amounts are suggestions. When I make quesdaillas, I just grab the ingredients and put them on until it looks good. I rarely measure anything.
2 8-inch tortillas
1/2 C shredded colby jack cheese
1/4 C chicken, shredded or diced
1/4 C sweet pepper, finely diced
1 T medium taco sauce
Preheat a 10 inch nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Place 1 tortilla on a clean, flat work surface.
Sprinkle half the cheese evenly over tortilla.
Evenly sprinkle chicken, peppers, and taco sauce.
Top with remaining cheese and 2nd tortilla.
Place on skillet and allow cheese to melt.
Flip the tortilla after 2-3 minutes or when bottom tortilla is lightly browned.
Quesadilla is done when cheese is melted and both outer sides of tortilla are lightly browned.
Enjoy!

Chicken and Broccoli Quesadilla and Tasty Tuesday Link-Up
One semester in college, I practically lived on quesadillas. I even had a quesadilla maker. So in honor of David's fall semester starting, I thought I'd share an old favorite quesadilla recipe from college. I've given suggestions on the amount of each ingredient to add to the recipe, but they are only suggestions. When I make these, I just grab some and toss it on until it looks good. Feel free to use more or less of each ingredient or just don't even measure.
Serves 2
1/4 C frozen broccoli florets
2 8-inch whole wheat tortillas
1/2 C mozzarella
1/4 C cooked chicken, shredded or diced
1 tsp lemon pepper
Preheat a 10 inch nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Thaw broccoli either under warm running water or in the microwave. Dice and set aside.
Place 1 tortilla on a clean, flat work surface.
Sprinkle half the cheese over tortilla.
Add chicken, lemon pepper, and diced broccoli.
Top with remaining cheese and 2nd tortilla.
Place on skillet and allow cheese to melt. If you have a press, use it. If not, flip the quesadilla after bottom tortilla is slightly browned roughly 2-3 minutes (kitchens vary, so yours may take more or less time).
Quesadilla is done when cheese is melted and both outer sides of tortilla are lightly browned.
Enjoy!
