Last night I stopped and picked up some burgers for the hubby to grill for dinner. Usually we make our own burgers but we had a long day full of yard work and sometimes pre-made is just the way to go.
I’m not all about beef burgers, so I whipped up a tasty little ‘dilla for myself! And let me tell ya, it was GOOD!
It all started with this corn and black bean salsa I made.
I made a big batch and took some over to my in-laws for a cookout we were having. My salsa is a bit different every time I make it, but for this batch I used two ears of sweet corn that I cooked on the grill, one can of no-salt added black beans, 2 small tomatoes, about 1/2 c red onion, several Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro, the juice of one lime and two jalapenos. Since I made it the night before, it had plenty of time to develop a good flavor…and it was nice and spicy!
When I made my actual dilla, I started with some red pepper avocado slices.
Then I added some salsa and a little bit of cheese.
We picked up a new grill pan at Marshall’s this weekend that was much bigger than the one we had and I thought it’d be fun to see if I could grill the quesadilla and give it a nice crunchy crust.
The result? Delicious! It got a little messy because I don’t put much cheese in my quesadillas so they don’t always stick together as well as they could. But nonetheless, the dilla was darn delicious!
Enjoy!

That looks amazing! ‘dillas are definitely one of my faves—I love all the stuff you put in it 🙂
Your salsa sounds yummy and so fresh! I love quesadillas – they are my go to meal. I love that you can mix up the ingredients and have a different dish every time!
That’s my kind of quesadilla. I love all the veggies in it, and I’d never have thought to cook them on the grill before. They look delicious.
you should definitely give it a try!
YUM! That looks fantastic! I love a good dilla- especially when its filled with awesome veggies and beans! Hope you guys are having a nice memorial day
The salsa looks heavenly! Making some is definitely on my to-do list for the weekend!
