Instructions
Heat a pan over medium heat. Add some oil to the pan. Sauté the onion until it is soft and sweet. Add the garlic and be careful not to let it burn! Sauté until you can smell the yummy garlicness. Keep it moving so it doesn’t burn… this is serious! Burt garlic will ruin a dish.
Add the tomatoes and the spices. Sauté about 1-2 minutes until it is nice and fragrant. Chop the banana and add to the dish. If your banana is super ripe, squish it with a fork as you stir. I used my potato masher to squish it all together. Once it is all combined, add the beans. Taste. Is it good? Need something else? Adjust the seasonings if necessary.
Take ¼ of an avocado and spread onto a tortilla. Add some of the filling. Spread the other ¼ of the avocado on another tortilla and put it on top of the filling to make the quesadilla.
Put the quesadillas on a baking sheet and put in the oven for 10 minutes just so the tortillas get crispy.
Slice with a large sharp knife or a pizza cutter. Top with your favorite salsa and serve!
