5 stars. This was great, my BF and I both liked this a lot. Nuts and beans fell out of the tortillas, but that was okay they cooked separately and I piled them on top with lots of yummy salsa. I found some low-fat gouda so that was a plus too! Thanks! Made for RSC #11.:D

This was a good quesadilla. I loved the spinach and black beans together. I did not care for the pine nuts which didn't really suit the quesadilla IMHO. Next time will add jalapenos in their place as it was a little plain. Served with fat free sour cream and salsa.

This made us a very nice lunch. I crushed the beans a little and toasted the pine nuts. Would like to add a bit more spice to it next time. Served it with salsa and sour cream.

It was hard to find a main dish recipe in RSC#11 that wasn't loaded with fat or sugar, so I was happy to see this recipe entered. Unfortuntely, I didn't like these at all. Nor did DH or my youngest daughter who eats most everything. For me, I found the shallots were overpowering because they were essentially uncooked.
