Spicy Black Bean Veggie Quesadilla

These Spicy Black Bean Veggie Quesadillas are a perfect tailgating appetizer that will be enjoyed by meat-lovers and vegetarians alike!

It’s fall time! To me, that means cozy sweatshirts, football, tailgating, leaf pile jumping for kids and much much more!

We have gorgeous colors in Michigan this time of year with all the trees around us. And even more as you take a drive up north.

So before the winter weather sets in we try to get outside and enjoy the cool, yet comfortable fall weather.

And with cool fall weather comes tailgating and football time! Two of my favorite combos!

I went to a large university and loved tailgating while I was attending. These days, adult “tailgating” has taken on a newer, healthier look.

This includes delicious appetizers like this black bean veggie quesadillas recipe I have created. They are simple and healthy, and can be enjoyed by meat-lovers and veggie-lovers alike! 

Simple Steps to Make These Spicy Black Bean Veggie Quesadillas

Check out these simple steps to make this perfect appetizer for tailgating.

Heat a whole sweet potato in the microwave until soft (about 10 minutes).

Coat one side of a tortilla with butter and add sweet potato and cheese to the other side of the tortilla.

 Next, add two halves of the MorningStar Farms Spicy Black Bean Veggie Burger and spinach leaves on top.

 Fold tortilla in half and grill until quesadilla is thoroughly heated and cheese is melted.

All these steps take only about 10 minutes to make delicious black bean veggie quesadillas that are perfect for tailgating, fall parties or even just for lunch!

Target’s MorningStar Farms

I shop at Target quite a bit for essentials and groceries, including these MorningStar Farms Spicy Black Bean Burgers. 

The Target near our house has not only expanded their grocery section the last few years, but they also have awesome carts for parents of several children.

See that nifty shopping cart below that E is enjoying himself?

Well, if you didn’t know, it can hold 3 kids AND a whole cart of groceries! Yes, it makes a mamma of young children VERY happy and sane while shopping.

Check out Target’s large variety of MorningStar Farms products here. For more information on MorningStar Farms including their products, nutrition and additional recipes check out their website.

Dietitian’s Dish

This recipe is packed full of fiber from whole wheat tortillas, spicy black bean veggie burgers, spinach and sweet potato.

Fiber not only helps you stay fuller longer but consistent fiber intake helps keep your bowels healthy too. The veggie burger also provides a good amount of protein with 10 grams of protein for each burger. A win-win in my book!
