Excellent recipe! I "fried" the quesadillas after filling them in olive oil Pam just to crisp them up a little. I also added sliced avocado. Fast, easy, great meal! -
We really liked these! Like other reviewers said, the smokiness of the chipotles was really nice! It was really quick and nice for a meal with pantry items! Thanks! -
Wonderful burritos! I love the smokiness the chipotles added. I also added some grilled chicken breast into the burritos. Thanks Geema!

Fabulous! I had these with the addition of onions and peppers as suggested, with guacamole!!! I used very little cilantro as im not a huge fan of it in large quantities ;-) These are just fabulous though. Loved the addition of cumin and the chipotle in adobo! I was very happy with my meal! :-) Thanks geema!

A very easy and quick meal to prepare. Great for when you`re short on time. Next time I`ll saute onions, garlic and peppers then add to the beans.

<p>Life often interupts our comfortable routines in very unexpected ways and in the past three years I've certainly faced some challenges. As a health nut who ate mostly vegetarian I was beyond shocked to discover that I was diabetic. <img title=Yell src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-yell.gif border=0 alt=Yell /> I shouted and rebelled and cried. But the good news is that I can control my glucose levels simply by eating very low carb. What a complete turn around it was to pass up all my high carb vegetarian foods like grains, and veggies and embrace meat! <img title=Surprised src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-surprised.gif border=0 alt=Surprised /> I've adjusted to this limited diet and thanks to Zaar can eat a nice variety of healthful meals.</p>
<p> The next challenge was a freakish fall I took while in New York with my daughter that left me paralyzed and in much pain. I thank God that I am so much better today after more than two years recovery, with total mobility and just some minor pain in my arms and hands. Cooking and communicating here was not really on my priority list. But, I am back in action and ready to cook, take photos, and enjoy this wonderful community of friends.<img title=Laughing src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-laughing.gif border=0 alt=Laughing /></p>
<p>My husband and I continue to enjoy our grandchildren and being closely involved with their day to day activities. I am also the proud owner of a sweet grey and white cat who came to my door as a little kitten 6 months ago. Her name is Bonny and you can read her story here: <a href=http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/ps/3/g7hopubcqxji7ub0y6fg target=_blank>http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/ps/3/g7hopubcqxji7ub0y6fg</a>.</p>
