This recipe – Black Bean Quesadillas with Corn Salsa – is perfect as a side for a Mexican meal. If you’re anything like me, I’m always clamoring for new side dish ideas for Mexican food. The options can sometimes be so filling and fattening. This one is a good choice. It would also make a great light dinner served with a green salad (or as an appetizer too!)
