[NEW] Bean & Cheese Quesadilla

Turn meatless Monday into quesadilla night! With this fresh veggie salsa, hearty and sweet pinto beans, and a touch of cheese, your whole family will look forward to vegetarian eating. For a little more zip, swap out the plain Monterey Jack for reduced-fat Pepper Jack. Smoked cheddar or gouda would also taste lovely with this combination—the secret to enjoying cheese responsibly is to savor small portions of a variety your family loves.
