quinoa + quesadilla

I haven't really been cooking lately. Or baking. In fact, I think I'm losing my touch. The few recipes I've tried out recently, have somehow managed to be utter disasters. Despite my never-ending to-do list, I keep longing to be in the kitchen. Yet, whenever I squeeze in the time, I fail miserably. So until I have enough time to give my kitchen the proper attention again, you'll have to deal with recipes I tried out over the summer -- like this one:

There's so much goodness going on in this meal that I don't even know what to call it. The name would be really long...something like Quinoa, Black Bean, Feta & Peach Salsa Quesadilla. Whoa. Too many words for a title. Especially a food title. But, that's what it is.

This recipe was inspired by a couple cooks. You can check out their page for detailed instructions. I didn't modify it much - basically just added crumbled feta cheese and placed it in a tortilla.

But here's the basic rundown of ingredients:

• 2 cups quinoa
• 2 cans black beans
• 6-8 green onions
• 1/2 tsp cumin
• 1/2 tsp chili powder
• salt & pepper to taste
• 4 ripe peaches
• 1/2 red onion
• 1/2 jalapeño pepper
• 1 lime
• handful of cilantro
• crumbled feta
• tortillas

Try it out - it was delish!
