Thanksgiving Inspired Cheese Quesadilla (Kid-Friendly)
Serves 415 mins prep10 mins cook
Sure, my kids already love cheese quesadillas, but when it is the season, I make these Thanksgiving inspired cheese quesadillas, which add a whole new fun spin on a classic recipe. I fill whole wheat tortillas with melty Monterey Jack cheese, black beans, and colorful bell peppers before decorating them to look like turkeys, which are almost too adorable to eat. They take me just 25 minutes to make and are a staple every year throughout the fall.

Instructions
0 Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium high heat. 1 Spread the black beans evenly over one tortilla. Top the beans with the cheese. Place the second tortilla on top. 2 Carefully place the quesadilla on the hot skillet sprayed with olive oil cooking spray, and cook for 5 to 6 minutes. When the cheese begins to melt, flip the quesadilla and cook on the other side for 4 to five minutes. 3 When the quesadilla is browned on both sides, remove it to a plate to cool. 4 While the quesadilla is cooling, slice each of the peppers into thin strips. Cut out four larger strips from the red pepper to serve as the turkey’s bodies. Cut four small triangles out of the yellow pepper to use as the turkey’s beak. 5 Cut the quesadilla into four wedges. Push the pepper strips into the round part of each web to make the turkey’s feathers. 6 Place the larger strip of red pepper on top of the quesadilla to make the turkey’s body. Decorate the pepper with a small yellow triangle for the beak and two candy eyes.View original recipe
