Kidney Bean Quesadilla

Discover a delicious Quesadilla with Kidney Beans & Tomato Pepper recipe. You can sneak in some veggies in this too since cheese masks them and the kids would not notice them, at least my kids did not. If you want to keep it even simpler, you can make the cheese ones where the filling is just cheese. I have used store-bought tortillas for this recipe. Off to an easy and healthy recipe.
