Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds 90/10 lean ground beef
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 onion, sliced thinly
  • 8 ounce package of mushrooms (white button or baby bella), sliced

  • 8 whole wheat tortillas (8-inch diameter)
  • 2 avocados
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend

Instructions

  • Brown ground beef in a pan over medium-high heat. Add chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Using a slotted spoon, set beef aside in a bowl.
  • Heat the remaining fat that was left in the pan, and sauté the onion and mushrooms. {If needed, add an extra teaspoon of oil.}
  • Preheat oven to 425.
  • Meanwhile, pour pinto beans into a bowl and mash with a fork or potato masher.
  • Spread mashed pinto beans on half of each tortilla. Add ground beef and onions/mushrooms. Add 1/4 of a sliced avocado and 2 tbsp shredded cheese to each. Fold down the other half of the tortilla.
  • Bake the quesadillas on a baking sheet at 425 F for 10 minutes. Enjoy!
