Happy Meatless Monday! Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your friends and family. If you hosted, as I did, I hope you’ve recovered! Whew it is a lot of work to host a big meal like Thanksgiving isn’t it? I really enjoy the cooking and the setting of the tables but those dishes and the clean up not so much. As Tina is off on her honeymoon this week, she has a couple of great guest posts lined up for you all. Let’s show her some love too!
We had a great combo of vegetarian and not so vegetarian dishes for our feast. It’s always hard to estimate just how much food to make isn’t it? I had a ton of Roasted Squash and Veggies left over and I couldn’t get rid of them. I ended up whipping up a Squash and Black Bean Quesadilla and it was so good I just had to share it with you today.
Basically, you can use any left over veggies you have. I threw in squash, broccoli, peppers and black beans. Any type of corn, flour or rice based tortilla works. Of course, topping it off with a little avocado and salsa is the way I roll.

Looks delicious! REALLY looking forward to meatless Monday after all the holiday leftovers!
Me too! Time to get back on track
Squash and black beans sounds so good! Can I have that for breakfast because I don’t think I can wait until dinner?
Oh great idea! I still have some in the fridge 🙂
Yum! I’m terrible at judging the amount of food to make too- always have tons of leftovers!
I know it’s hard isn’t it?!
Well, you know I’m a big fan of squash-Mexican mashups!
Such a great combo isn’t it!
This is so creative and looks amazing!!!
thanks it was yummy I had it 2 days in a row
That looks so good! And easy to make vegan too :-). I don’t have any leftovers because we didn’t host this year, but I might just buy the veggies to prepare it.
Yes you can certainly leave the cheese out and make it. I loved the squash and black bean combo
I hope you had a great Thanksgiving! This looks fab! I am always looking for different veggie quesadilla recipes!
Thanks hope you enjoy!
Would never think of putting squash and black beans together. But why not, I like both ingredients.
That is one of my favorite veggie combos!
These look amazing, do you deliver? I’ll take mine with extra guac please. 😉 Happy Meatless Monday!
I know guac is the best isn’t it? It does not however photograph well 🙂
yummy! i always love your recipes. going to pin this one now! 🙂
Thanks! It’s super easy to whip up too
Yum! I may just make these for lunch today!
Ha me too! Thanks
Ooh, this looks tasty! These quesadillas would be a great addition to Thanksgiving!
Thanks so much!
MMMM. This would be so good on a cold day! Looks just great. And I like that you can use whatever veggies you have.
Exactly! Super easy to whip up
Yum, this looks delicious! I haven’t made quesadillas in a while but this looks like a great version with the extra veggies.
Thanks super quick for a weekday prep and everyone can add in whatever they like
Yumm, quesadillas in any shape or form are a hit in my book!
Thanks! They are great and easy for a weeknight
I love squash. I love quesadillas. But I’ve never combined the two. Guess what I’m having for dinner?! 😛
Lol enjoy!!
Quesadillas can be such a healthy dish. You can fill them with all sorts of healthy goodies. I love your recipe, Deborah. Black beans, broccoli and squash sounds great! Yummy!
Thanks so much hope you enjoy!
Sounds great and looks yummy! Will have to try this out!
Thanks hope you like them!
YUM!! This looks so good! What a great recipe for meatless Monday! The perfect, healthy way to start the day!! SO good. Thanks for sharing! Hope that you have an awesome week!
I really want to come over to your place of dinner. Thanks for the link up!
Now that would be fun! I am often the only one who eats my food 🙂
This looks amazing, I could really use a change of pace. Don’t get me wrong, I love Thanksgiving and I just finished off the last of the rolls for lunch today. But after 3 days of left overs, I am totally ready for something new and quesadillas sound fab right now!
Thanks so much! I ate these 2 days in a row they are so easy to whip up.
This looks delicious! We’re huge fans of Mexican food around here, so I’ll definitely be giving this a try!
thanks I love the squash black bean combo!
Black beans are my absolute favorite!!!! Putting them in a quesadilla is an excellent idea with homemade salsa. YES!!
Thanks enjoy!!
I actually did a good job of estimating food this year. We only have a small amount of turkey left that I will freeze for future soup.
I do have a butternut squash that needs roasting though…
I am all over squash these days!
I can pretty much guarantee that my son would eat this one!! He’d never miss the meat (sorry Arby’s guy)!
Awesome I hope he likes it and you do too!
That sounds like a great idea for leftovers this sounds yummy!
Thanks so much!
Your meatless monday recipe looks awesome and FILLING!!
Thanks so much hope you give it a try
We didn’t host thanksgiving but I would say definitely use up the meat in soups (turkey noodle & ham & potato)!
Soups work too!
So easy and it looks delicious! Adding this to my dinner menu in the coming weeks. YUM.
Ah thanks!
Yum! I love anything in quesadilla form. I just made a similar recipe (black bean and spinach enchiladas) and it turned out so good! Usually when I have a lot of veggie leftovers, I throw them in a bowl with some quinoa and call it a day 🙂
That’s such an easy way to use them up isn’t it?
I love all kinds of different quesadillas. I have a favorite black bean and sweet potato that is so good. I’ll have to try your recipe next. It looks delicious!
Thanks! It’s a great combo isn’t it?!
What a yummy way to use up leftovers!
It’ was! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving
I should totally not read your blog when I’m hungry. My stomach is growling looking at those gorgeous food photos, but it is almost bedtime!! Thanks for another great recipe, Deborah!!
Lol thanks! This one is super easy too!
You and Sam have created these amazing-looking quesadillas, and now I must try them!!
Thanks one of my favorite food combos!
