Ingredients
- 8 (384g packet) multigrain tortillas
- 1/3 cup tomato salsa
- 1 1/3 cups grated reduced fat tasty cheese
- 400g can no-added-salt red kidney beans, drained
- 1 cup grated carrot

- Heat a large non-stick frying pan and grease with cooking spray. Add one filled tortilla, cook over a medium heat for about 3 minutes or until golden underneath. Using an egg slide, carefully turn and cook other side until golden. Remove from pan.
- Repeat step 3 with remaining filled tortillas to make 4 quesadillas. Cool then cut each into 6 wedges.
- Mash avocado with lemon juice in a small bowl. Serve with quesadillas if desired.
