Black Bean Hominy Quesadillas are a delicious Mexican-inspired dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. The combination of black beans, hominy, and diced chilies makes for a hearty and flavorful filling inside a crispy tortilla. These quesadillas can be customized by adding salsa, guacamole, or sour cream on top for extra flavor.

Instructions

1.	In a large bowl, mix together black beans, hominy, and diced chilies.
2.	Take a tortilla and place a handful of shredded cheese on one half. Add a few spoonfuls of the bean hominy mixture on top of the cheese and fold the tortilla in half, pressing it down lightly.
