@ground beef{12%oz}
@whole wheat tortillas{4%unit}
@avocado{2%unit}
@grape tomatoes{1%cup}
@lime{1%unit}
@red onion{1%unit}
@cilantro{2%tbsp}
@mozzarella cheese{1.5%cups}
@sour cream{2%tbsp}
@dried oregano{1%tsp}
@black beans{1.5%cups}
@olive oil{1%tbsp}
@salt{1%tsp}
@black pepper{½%tsp}

Wash and dry all produce. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Drain and rinse black beans. Halve, peel, and thinly slice red onion. Finely chop cilantro. Halve grape tomatoes.

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a #large pan{} over medium-high heat. Add the onion to the pan and cook, tossing for ~{3%minutes} to ~{4%minutes}, until softened. Add ground beef and dried oregano to the pan and cook, breaking up the meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through. Season with salt and black pepper.

Rub one side of each whole wheat tortilla with a small drizzle of olive oil and place oil-side down on a #baking sheet{}. Sprinkle half of each tortilla with some mozzarella cheese. Top with the ground beef and another sprinkling of mozzarella cheese. Fold over the other side of the tortilla and repeat for the remaining quesadillas. Bake for ~{7%minutes} to ~{10%minutes}, flipping halfway through cooking, until melted and crispy.

Meanwhile, halve, pit, and dice avocado. In a #medium bowl{}, combine the avocado, black beans, tomatoes, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.

Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve with a dollop of sour cream and a side of avocado-black bean salsa.
