SWAP ScoreChoose Sometimes
Supporting Wellness at Pantries (SWAP) is a stoplight nutrition ranking system designed to help promote healthy food choices. SWAP ranks food as either green (choose often, supports health), yellow (choose sometimes, can contribute to good health), or red (choose rarely, limited health benefits). These rankings are based on the amount of saturated fat, sodium, and sugar in one serving of the recipe. These nutrients were chosen because they are most associated with chronic disease risk.
Ingredients
- 3 tsp olive oil divided
- 1/4 cup chopped red or green pepper
- 2-3 garlic scapes chopped
- 1/2 small zucchini or summer squash chopped
- 2 8-inch whole wheat tortillas
- 1/2 cup black beans drained and rinsed
- 1 oz shredded cheese (Monterey jack pepper jack or cheddar)
Directions
- Heat a sauté pan over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon oil. Add peppers, garlic scapes, and zucchini and sauté until vegetables begin to brown and soften. Transfer to a bowl.
- Wipe out sauté pan and add remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Place one tortilla in the pan and top with black beans, sautéed vegetables, and cheese. Top with remaining tortilla.
- Cook on one side until brown and cheese begins to melt, about 3 minutes. Flip quesadilla and brown on the other side, another 2-3 minutes.
- Transfer to a plate and slice into 4 wedges. Serve hot with your favorite toppings such as salsa or guacamole.
